Dear Mr.Zwick:
As you consider government relief for the victims of the attacks on our country on
September 11, please consider two things:
1) Aid to the families of the victims should not be based solely on the victim's last
paycheck. We should not be giving away public funds only to the wealthy. A
strong minimum payment for all victims' families should be established.
2) New York State and the American Red Cross have stated that families of gay and
lesbian victims will be compensated the same as others. I urge your office to
certify this policy as well. Those families are just as much in need as any others.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Chicopee, MA
