Copy of note sent to Attorney General John Ashcroft

Copy of letter sent to Attorney General John Ashcroft:

Dear Attorney General John Ashcroft:

I am very disturbed to read an article on about.com about the 9/11 Fund. Here is part of the article that pretty much sums it up:

"pretty much everyone who died - including people who aren't even American citizens and were living in the US illegally - will be honored by the September 11th Fund as deserving of America's special recognition and thanks. The sole exception will be gay and lesbian Americans, because Feinberg and the 911 Fund wouldn't want to do anything contrary to US law. (Unless of course it involves an illegal alien who isn't even American - then apparently it's okay to bend the rules.)"

So, I am angry that illegal aliens can get compensation, yet some US citizens can't? What gives here?

As a US citizen, I formally protest this, and I am very angry that you would come up with such a policy! It is wrong!!

I sincerely hope you get plenty of negative feedback regarding this policy and that something is done. Illegal aliens do not deserve compensation, your US citizens do!

Thank you,

Individual Comment
Denver, CO
