Gays and Lesbians discriminated against by 9/11 fund
To whom it may concern;
I, as an American citizen am completely appalled at the Attorney
General and 9/11 funds discrimination against American citizens, while
allowing those who are in the country illegally to collect benifits.
Unfortunately, I am not at all surprised. Although every national
poll has shown that a clear majority of American citizens believe that
homosexuals deserve the same rights as every other American citizen; the
conservative right-wing branch of the Republican party has used the
marginalization of gay people as a rallying cry for too many years to
stop it now. They even marginalized Barry Goldwater in his later years
because he felt that gays as American citizens should have the same
rights as eveybody else.
I believe that every person who contributed to the 9/11 fund who does
not agree with the Feinberg ruling on homosexuals should immediately
file suit against the US government to get their contribution back.
Sincerely;
Individual Comment
