September 11 Victims
Dear Attorney General Ashcroft,
As a former St. Louis Missouri resident and long time watcher of you, I
respect your track record and capabilities.
The deaths on September 11th were the result of an attack on America and
all of its citizens. Please do not discriminate against any of those
citizens. The unmarried partners of September 11th victims are
particularly at risk. In today's world, there are many definitions of
relationships - especially in a city as crucial to the US as New York.
Also in a city such as New York, the cost of living dictates a sharing
of expenses. With one of those partners suddenly taken by the tragic
events of September 11, many many people in such relationships are
facing severe hardships. Thus I ask you to ensure that all unmarried
partners, gay or straight, young and old and their dependents should be
eligible for compensation.
I thank you for your consideration of this important matter.
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
San Francisco, CA
