Please Do Not Support Equal Access To Same ### Partners
December 28, 2001
Dear Mr. Kenneth Zwick,
As you may know, Amnesty International
has recently issued a letter in support of same ### partnerships receiving
the equal access to benefits for the September 11 Victims Relief Fund. I
as a member of Amnesty International want to ask that you DO NOT SUPPORT
equal access to the relief fund, giving same ### partnerships the benifits
that would be granted to those who were married.
Amnesty has called it an "arbitrary discrimination" to not grant rights to
same ### partnerships. As a member, I am personally disappointed in
Amnesty for trying to pursue an agenda under the words "human rights."
They in themselves are pushing the same ### agenda, without any
justification for it being a basic human right. It is discriminating
against the institution of marriage, and makes it useless. By their action
they are trying to redefine human rights by pushing an agenda that is not
so fixed or assumed. Please honor only those who have the legitimate right
of marriage to be seen as a legal marriage partnership, please do not
support Amnesty's push to redefine marriage. These are rights that would
not be considered for opposite ### partnerships that are outside of
marriage, and so it is not discrimination to deny those who are of same ###
partnerships.
Thank you for considering my concerns. I look forward to hearing from you
about this critical issue.
With much Thanks
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
