In your current role as Mayor of  Overland Park, Kansas, I like on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights,  supporting funds to help women including minorities communities compete in the economy, and pushing for laws to combat against hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different.

I like your approach on improving the economy by expand on job-training programs to help youth including workers develop work-skills to help prepare them for the workforce and provide tax-credits for small businesses to help them be part of the community including help them hire people to work for their businesses.  Another thing that I like about your work as Mayor of Overland Park, Kansas is how you are working on a plan to improve playgrounds to help accommodate youth with disabilities to play on them with the rest of the children, supporting the need to help restore with preserve historical sites including museums to help make education a better place to learn while improve tourism, and pushing to expand programs to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help from law enforcement resources.

Dear Honorable Davis,

My name is Matthew Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and my main interest is learning history, social justice, and public policy.

Honorable Davis, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as Kansas House of Representatives from the 46^th district and your activism to be very inspiring to me

When you served as Kansas House of Representatives from the 46^th district, from 2003-2015, I really liked was when there was a recession you cut your own pay raise including your office budget to reduce corruption and express the need for campaign finance reform to reduce money from lobbying groups into elections or campaigns.  On the environment, I liked on how you supported for  renewable energy sources to reduce addiction to oil with gas and increase more environmental education to help teach people ways to protect the environment. On sponsoring legislation, I liked on how you are committed to help protect worker’s rights by supporting H 2218 a bill to help protect workers from an abusive workplace environment to help make working place a safe environment and to reduce bullying with hazing. I liked on how you worked with both parties Democrats and moderate Republicans on finding ways to help pass a transportation bill to help fix roads, and have ways to combat at crimes like protecting women including children from trafficking or being stalked including from domestic violence and increase laws to combat against drug dealers while having drug treatment programs for drug users to reduce drugs addiction with making public health a priority. Another thing, I liked your commitment to help support Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, support the need to expand laws to combat against hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different and even working hard to try to get an Equal Rights Amendment passed to help combat against discrimination even though the state legislature didn’t support it. On the economy, I liked on how you support expanding job0training programs to help train youth including workers to develop work skills and advocate for the need to raise the minimum wage to help workers afford to live.  To improve education I liked on how you supported the need to fund special education to help students with disabilities get the educational resources they need and pushed for after school programs to help youth get help on their assignments or get them involve in recreation activities.   After you left public service, I’m very grateful on how you are a  continuous supporter of Civil Rights, advocate for the need for ethics reform, and many others.

Honorable Davis, 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 work in the Kansas State Legislature and your continuous advocacy for the need to have bipartisanship along with a strong need for ethics reform motivates me to continue my strong interest in learning history, social justice, and public policy.  My future goal is to someday work in history or in social justice to help emphasize the need to make Civil rights stronger, have environmental protection to reduce pollution, improve ethics reform to combat against corruption.

Dear Ms. Erbe,

My name is Matt Winick and I am a fan of your work as an actress in a tv show.  My favorite tv show that you played in was Law And Order Criminal Intent.  The main reason I liked Law And Order Criminal Intent was because I enjoyed on how the series had Major Case Squad where they use deductive reasoning to learn different theories on solving cases, seeing how the members of the Major Case Squad work together on solving different cases, and seeing Detective Eames work with Detective Goren on solving cases.  Ms. Erbe, I thought you did an excellent job portraying Detective Alex Eames in the show because I liked on how you made her have interesting traits like being analytical when investigating cases, being pragmatic on making decision relating to her case or making sure that her partner Detective Goren gets assistance, and many others.  In seasons 1-10, I enjoyed watching every episodes because I enjoyed seeing the working relationship between Detective Eames and Detective Goren, how both of them are loyal to each other when they face an obstacle, working to repair their friendship when they have a differences, and seeing how Eames’s investigation traits blend in with Detective Goren’s investigation traits when solving cases.  I was sad when Law and Order CI got cancelled because you, Mr. Vincent D’Onofrio, and the rest of the cast members did a great job making the show great to watch.   After the show got cancelled, I was very happy that Mr. Dick Wolf and Law and Order SVU decided to bring your character back into the Law And Order franchise.  I watched the two episodes of Law And Order SVU which were  “Acceptable Loss” and Poisoned Motive” where your character Eames teamed up with the SVU squad to stop criminals. 

Ms. Erbe, I strongly believe that you really made a great difference in the Law and Order: Criminal Intent and making your Detective Alex Eames a strong character for the show.  As a Law and Order franchise fan, I am proud to call you one of my favorite actresses for it and proud to call Law And Order: CI one of my favorite tv shows.  I was wondering if you could please share with me what it was like playing a police detective on a crime drama show because someday in the future I would like to play as a law enforcement in a crime drama show.  Here is a picture of me as a gift to you for inspiring me to be a fan of your character and the Law And Order: CI series.  I hope you can continue making your character Eames be a crossover with Dick Wolfs shows the Chicago P.D. or the Chicago series because I think that you’ll make the Dick Wolf shows great to watch and blend well with the cast. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, making your character including Law And Order: CI great to watch, and inspiring me. I wish you well for the future in acting and to do well in Broadway.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
