9/11 Compensation Fund - Gays/Lesbians excluded
Mr. Bush,
I am writing to express my outrage at how the 9/11
Victims' Compensation Fund is being handled. Sunday,
I
watched "Meet the Press" and witnessed the most
cowardly exchange from the head of this fund who hid
behind state laws to avoid doing the right thing in
terms of giving adequate compensation to the gay and
lesbian community. Was yours the adminstration that
professed to serve ALL Americans? Wasn't
COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATISM supposed to be your motto?
This fund will distribute money to illegal aliens and
fetuses but the heroes who included the on one
flight, who helped bring
down the plane in Pennsylvania and many others are
being left out? Save all the political spinning and
cowardly hiding from the truth on this issue please.
I see a bunch of spineless bigots who have brought
disgrace to our "united" nation. Like
and who had the audicity to blame gays
for 9/11, the Justice Department and the 9/11 Fund
ought to hang their heads in shame. Of course, I now
believe that they have no shame. Many in my family,
Mr Bush, voted for you and were supportive of you.
However, this latest incident sparked a lengthy family
discussion and I can tell you that all eleven people
involved said that you and your party will lose our
votes in the 2002/2004 elections unless you act like
the leader of ALL Americans that you claim to be.
I expect you to do the right thing and cover the
victims and heroes of 9/11 - which includes
gays/lesbians and their surviving partners.
