Justice Department please include among relatives eligible for compensation
those who lost their life partners, as well as DE facto parents or children,
without regard to sexual orientation or marital status.
US Government please follow the example already set by New York 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."
