Fair benefits for 9/11 victims
To whom it may concern:
I understand that the September 11 fund is not planning to pay benefits to
domestic partners of people who died in the September 11 attacks. I
understand that US law does not protect homosexual relationships, but it
also does not protect illegal immigrants who are living and working in the
United States IN WILFUL VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW.
It is an outrage that CRIMINALS get better treatment than HONEST TAX
PAYING CITIZENS. If you deny benefits to gay couples on the basis that
their particular state's laws do not protect them, you must also deny the
same benefits to the illegal immigrants. In fact, if you REALLY intend to
comply with the law, you should DEPORT the illegals instead of giving them
money, but you're not doing that because you know it isn't right.
Why not do what's right in the case of homosexuals too?
Keep in mind that if not for the gay man who helped to down flight 93, the
US Capitol could be just as flat as the WTC right now.
