Dear U.S. District Judge Crabtree,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in learning history and social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.  U.S. District Judge Crabtree, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as U.S. District Judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas to be very inspiring to me.

In August 2013, I liked on how you accepted President Obama to nominate you to serve in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas to help him improve the criminal justice system and to help our country. In your current role as U.S. District Judge, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, pushing for strict sentencing for people who commit hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who re different, and expressing the need to reduce racial profiling in the judicial system to protect minorities including immigrants from being oppressed. Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug-abuse, working to expand law enforcement including court resources to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma, and heavily advocate for the need for funds for DNA testing including forensic science to help reduce sending an innocent person to jail while solving evidence efficiently is common sense for criminal justice reform. Another thing that I like about your work as U.S. District Judge, I like on how you use reasonable judgment on protecting civil liberties like the fourth amendment to help protect people form unreasonable searches.

U.S. District Judge Crabtree, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.   Also your role as U.S. District Judge for the District of Kansas gives me motivation to continue to learn history with social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in the judicial system. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to improve criminal justice reform and support Civil Rights.   You have inspired me to work hard on my disability and to continue to learn history with social justice. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to improve the judicial system, and inspiring me. I wish you the best to continue to make a great impact on the criminal justice system and society.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
