Sept 11th fund - outright hypocrocy
September 11th was a tradegy for America and ALL of her families.
Millions of Americans contributed to the funds with the expectations that
ALL families would benefit. I applaud your inclusion of illegal aliens as
part of those who will benefit from the fund and for not looking to incur
further hardships for those families by stating you will not pursue
extradition of any sort for coming forward . In this case you are looking
beyond the letter of the law to what most would be considered to be the
most humane thing to do.
However, it is with outright hypocracy that you then turn around and say
that the families of GLBT victims will not be afforded the exact same
humane treatment. Instead, in this case, you pretend that you want to
follow the 'letter of the law dictated at the state level'...what caused
you to migrate from that stance on illegal aliens? You are now saying that
GLBT victims contributed less and their families deserve less. It's
immoral and outright stupidity.
I'm outraged and I want my money back. I will never again contribute to
any types of these kinds of funds and if you are now going to say that the
families of some of our citizens that perished in 9/11 don't count....you
should be ashamed.
