Love, do justice, show mercy for All victims/relatives of 9/11
To: Mr. Kenneth L.. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs
U.S. Department of Justice
Dear Mr. Zwick,
I respectfully ask your compassion and fairness in providing assistance
to ALL those affected by the tragedy of September 11th...including among
relatives eligible for compensation those who lost their life partners as well
as de facto parents and children, without regard to sexual orientation or
marital status.
I pray the federal government follows the compassionate example already
set by New York State Governor Pataki in granting compensation benefits
"on a showing of mutual interdependence with the victim, in recognition that
anyone who shared with the victim living expenses, day-to-day activities
and the emotional bonds of family deserves help in this time of need."
Their pain is no less...their loss is no less...and their access to justice
and equality in the aftermath of this crisis must, therefore, be no less.
Respectfully,
Individual Comment
Miami, FL
