The Fund is Unfair!
I am writing to formally protest the exclusion of Gay and Lesbians from
compensation.
Let's not forget people like and so many others
whose names we do not know were gay and who were heroes. Senator McCain
even gave the Eulogy at memorial and talked about his
contribution to saving the lives of so many other people.
If fetuses, illegal aliens and others can be compensated without
discrimination (even when being here in blatent violation of US Federal
law), then members of the Gay and Lesbian community, Americans all, should
not be excluded.
I was shocked when the Governor of Puerto Rico raised money "For Puerto
Rican Families" and tried to get Governor Pataki to use the money raised
here on the island for families of Puerto Rican descent only. Thank God,
Governor Pataki rejected her request and put the money into a fund that
included all. Now, it is time for the federal government to also reject
discrimination and include ALL American citizens, as well as the unborn and
those illegally here (and those who employed them illegally) in equality and
equity.
Sincerely and prayerfully,
