9/11 comp fund
I am your son, your brother, your father, grandfather, your uncle, your
cousin, your minister, your police, your serviceman, your firefighter, your
attorney, your doctor, your nurse, your rabbi, and, your priest. And I am
outraged that the moneys we have contributed to help ALL people who lost
their partner during the September 11th. attacks are selectively being
distributed with discrimination against Gay and Lesbian. I urge you to have
a compassionate heart and remember that someone you love could have been a
victim that awful day.
September 11 must teach us that our patriotism and love of country
transcend all differences and bring us closer together. We were lead to
believe that 9/11 was the day that all Americans are just "Americans". No
more Italian-Americans, African-Americans, or Gay-Americans, just
Americans. As part of the 'American' Family, we have a right to equal
consideration for all partnerships. Do the right thing and relinquish
discrimination of collected moneys to your fellow Americans.
