I lost a son at the WTC @ and I myself worked there as well. I was
fortunate to not have been in the building at that time. My son is survived
by his wife and two children. She has read the fund's regulations and so
have I. She being the personal representative has a choice of accepting or
rejecting this offer. By signing this agreement and the way it is written I
object to the fact that I as the parent have no recourse in this matter if
she (the wife) accepts this offer. I feel that my civil rights are being
violated by this agreement. My daughter-in-law and children are a separate
and apart from my husband and I. Do you or Congress think that I have not
suffered from that day and every day that goes by I don't think of my son
suffering during this attack. I lost most of my friends in those towers and
I will never recovery from the heartache. Who in his right mind would deny
me the RIGHT to sue for pain and suffering? Has anyone in Congress lost
family in the WTC? I think not, otherwise why would this fund be written to
accommodate the airlines and not the grieving families of all those who have
died for no accountable reason other than being there. Can anyone explain
this to me? You people have quite a bit of revamping to do on this
document if you expect families to accept this as is. I for one would
totally reject it, we are not fools and don't think for one moment that we
can't see how sugar coated this was for the airlines.
I am one sorry American to have to read all the restrictions that go along
with this fund, besides all the deductions as well.
You people in Congress should be ashamed of yourselves for trying to pass
this off to the American public.
