I Am Outraged!
To Whom It May Concern:
It has recently come to my attention that you will not be automatically
providing benefits to partners of gay and lesbian victims of September 11th
due to the laws that do not recognize them as legal beneficiaries. However,
it is clear to me you are readily giving funds to illegal aliens who are in
the country, breaking our own laws.
How can this unfairness exists and why is this discrimination allowed, when
we are encouraging all americans young and old to stand together against
evil and terror. Brave men and women of all races, religions, color, and
sexual orientation died and many of their loved ones have been left behind
in need of our support and understanding. It is clear to me that you are
continuing the cycle of hate and separating America with your discriminatory
views and actions.
I have donated a lot of money to this fund and feel that it should go to all
of the victims' partners whether or not they were heterosexual, gay or
lesbian.
The guidelines you have decided to follow appear to benefit illegal aliens
while leaving a percentage of the legal law-abiding citizens high and dry.
This action is clearly immoral if not illegal in most states. I regard this
action as deplorable and pray you find the ability to rectify these wrongs
before they come back to haunt you.
