Shame on Feinberg and the Bush Administration
To Whom It May Concern:
I am horrified and appalled at the treatment of the families of gay and
lesbian victims of the 9-11 attacks. For the administration to single out
gays and lesbians for this contemptuous treatment, especially while allowing
undocumented workers to claim benefits, is more than a slap in the face, it
is a wholesale dismissal of the humanity of these people, many of whom
emerged as heroes that horrible day. All Americans should be equal in the
way their government treats them, however this government believes the
rights of non-Americans are more pressing than the rights of its own
citizens. This is obscene.
Shame on Mr. Feinberg! Shame on Mr. Bush! Shame on the rabidly homophobic
members of his administration who, behind the scenes, came up with this
heinous idea. You are playing politics with the lives of people who have had
such horror thrown at them. You disgust me.
May your imminent fall from power (you have already fallen from grace) be as
swift and spectacular as it is devastating. Rest assured that I will do
everything legally possibly to hasten this.
