Dear Attorney General Stein,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including social justice.  In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.  Attorney General Stein, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work when you served as Member of the North Carolina Senate from the 16^th District and as currently serving as 50^th Attorney General of North Carolina to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as Member of the North Carolina Senate from the 16^th District from 2009-2016, I truly appreciated on how you were a strong supporter of Civil Rights to help protect women, minorities, and people with disabilities from being discriminated, support funds for renewable energy to reduce addiction to oil with gas, and strong support environmental protection to help keep water resources including parks clean to make them safe for people to use.  Another thing that I liked about your work when you served in the North Carolina Senate was how you pushed to expand the DNA database to help track violent criminals for cases to remove them from the streets, implemented School Safety Act to help train teachers including school officials to find ways to help protect children from dangerous criminals or reduce bullying, and expand better protections to hide identity of victims of domestic violence from abusers.  In your current role as 50^th Attorney General of North Carolina, I truly appreciate on how you support Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, prosecuting people who commit hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different, and investigating public places that practice different forms of discrimination or violate civil rights legislation.  Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug-abuse, working with law enforcement resources to expand resources to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma, and expressing the need for more funds to improve DNA testing including forensic science to help solve evidence efficiently while reduce sending an innocent person to jail is common sense for criminal justice reform.  Another thing that I like about your work as Attorney General of North Carolina is how you went after public officials who are corrupt or accepted illegal bribes, prosecuted industries that illegally polluted the environment or violated environmental protection to improve public health while reduce pollution, and partnered with law enforcement to investigate financial companies that practice fraud or predatory lending.  

Attorney General Stein, 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.  Your role as former Member of the North Carolina Senate from the 16^th District and as current 50^th Attorney General of North Carolina gives me motivation to continue to learn history including social justice.  My future goal is t 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, protect the environment from pollution, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support Civil Rights, push for criminal justice reform, standing up for victim’s rights, and many others.  You have inspired me to work hard on my disability, learn about your work in public service, and inspiring me.  I wish you the best to continue to make a great impact on society through your role as Attorney General of North Carolina.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick

Dear President Satterlee,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, social justice, and diversity. In these subjects or core values, I like to learn the importance of making Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, have education reform to make learning a better tool, have diversity to accept people from different background, and many others.  President Satterlee, the main reason I’m writing you a letter explaining how I find your work as 13^th President of Idaho State University to be very inspiring to me.

In your current role as 13^th President of Idaho State University, I truly appreciate your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and working to push for Idaho State University to reduce discrimination to help protect minorities, women, and people with disabilities.  Expanding tutoring services to help prove students help on their assignments from tutors, pushing for more accommodations to help students with disabilities to help assist them on learning like extra time on exams or use educational software including recorder to help improve their comprehension, and implementing more liberal arts with basic classes (history, humanities, arts, science, and introduction) to help make education diverse is common sense.  I like your approach on improving diversity by hiring women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work for the college,  expanding recruitment to help encourage women, minorities, and people with disabilities to get an education, and partnering with different diversity groups on Idaho State University to find ways to help promote events to help educate people about different culture.  On reforming Idaho State University I liked on how you launched “One Thing Campaign”  to have staff of Idaho State University or students give feedback to the Office of the President to find ways to improve the college and pushed for a program to help address the need to reduce bullying. Another thing that I like about your work as President of University is how you work with different companies to find ways for students or grad students who have a focus degree to work for them,  expand more funds for research programs to help students including the university to learn about how a topic or a subjects could make a great difference or be beneficial for society, and trying to find solutions to reduce high tuition cost to help student who can’t afford or are low income get access to an education.  Besides your work as President of Idaho State University, I like on how you are a heavily advocate for Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights, expressing the need to reduce bullying, supporting environmental protection causes, and continuing push for common sense education reform.

President Sutterlee, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble on comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter and advocate of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights and the need to reduce bullying really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Also on Youtube I enjoy listening to your lectures about the need for education reform and how the core values (Trust, Compassion, Stability, and Hope) can help make society, education, and the job productivity a better place for people including people from different background.  Your current role as President of Idaho State University gives me motivation to continue to learn history, social justice, and diversity. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, have diversity to accept people who are different,  need for education reform to help make learning a better tool, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society and education.  I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support Civil Rights, improve education reform, and many others.  You have inspired me to work hard on my disability, learn more about your work and to continue to learn different subjects.  Also your speeches on Youtube and your core values are very motivation to learn.  I was wondering if you could please share with me what it is like being President of University of Idaho.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference for society including education, and inspiring me. I wish you the best to continue to make a great difference.

Dear Honorable Burwell,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including social justice.  In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, find ways to improve health care to help people with pre-existing conditions or who can’t afford it, and many others. Honorable Burwell, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work in the President Obama administration and as current President of American University to be very inspiring to me.

When you served in the President Obama administration from 2013-2017, I truly appreciated on how you were a strong supporter and advocate for Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and working to combat against discrimination in U.S. Health and Human Services department to help protect minorities, women, and people with disabilities.   In your role as Director of Office of Management and Budget from 2013-2014,  I liked on how you had the courage to work hard to find ways to expand some federal spending to keep the government from shutting down by working with Democrats including moderate Republicans in order to keep government services open to help the public. Also in your role in as Director od Office of Management and Budget, I liked your advocacy about the need to end tax breaks to corporations that send jobs overseas,  a strong need to expand job-training programs to help train youth including workers to develop work-skills,  and many others.  When you served as 22^nd U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services from 2014-2017, I liked on how you worked with President Obama including Congress to pass funds to help combat against the Ebola epidemic crisis by supplying hospitals with medical resources they need to research how to help people and push for health care initiatives like clean food with water including better sanitation.  Continuing to protect the Affordable Care Act to help people with pre-existing conditions from losing their health insurance, advocate with President Obama for the need for health care for people with disabilities including people with autism when both   political parties ignored this issue, and support providing funds to medical research to find ways to improve medicine while combat against different diseases is common sense for health care reform.   In June 2017, I was amazed on how you made history by becoming the first woman to become President of American University.  In your current role as President of American University I liked on how you support hiring women, minorities,  and people with disabilities to work for the college and work on finding ways to expand on scholarships to help students who are low-income or can’t afford college get assistance.  Expanding accommodations to help students with disabilities get help on learning like extra time on exams, implementing more tutoring services to provide students help on assignments from tutors,  and working to push for more Liberal Arts (history, arts, basic classes, science, and humanities) to make education diverse is common sense for education reform.

Honorable Burwell, 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 and advocate for Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  Also your work in the President Obama Administration as Director of Office of Management and Budget and as 22^nd U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services gives me motivation to continue to learn history including 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, protect the environment from pollution, and have healthcare reform to help people with pre-existing conditions      

I strongly believe that you made a great difference in public service.  I’m very proud on how you worked hard to support Civil Rights, push for health care reform,  and education reform.  You have truly inspired me to work hard on my disability and be motivated to continue to learn history including social justice.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to help make a great impact on society, and inspiring me.  I wish you the best to continue to advocate for common sense ideas.

Dear Mr. Wilkos,

My name is Matt Winick with a strong interest in learning history, and social justice. The reason I like studying these subjects is because I want to understand how there can be different ideas to improve society and understand the need to protect people who are different including victims from being discriminated. Mr. Wilkos, I have been a fan of The Steve Wilkos Show since 2007-present.  I like on how you help people who are victims of crime, abuse, drug abuse, and bullying with advices, counseling, and finding out the truth.  Mr. Wilkos, I enjoy watching the episodes of your show because you do an excellent job helping people. There was an episode that got my attention which was “15 year-old Girl bullied online” on 11/26/14. I watched the episode about how a 15 year-old girl got bullied by other people with them spreading bad rumors about her. In the episode I was touched by how you counseled her with her mother about finding different ways to prevent being bullied like finding good friendships, be careful on online like social network, and getting counseling to help them, taking the time to listen to her story, and having audience share their struggles of being bullied to show that she is not the only one facing problems with giving her advices.  Your work on making society better with campaigning against bullying really inspires me to be confident when times are hard or when I have struggles.

Besides your work as a TV host, I really like on how you are an activist on supporting Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes to reduce discrimination, advocate for campaign to combat against bullying, support programs to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence, and many others.  Mr. Wilkos, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning new subjects and I get teased by other people about it.  During my school days including present and social network people tease me about my disabilities.  It was very hard for me because people would reject me from being part of a group due to having a disability, sometimes people on social network like Facebook people would spread bad rumors about me like making statements which weren’t true, some girls would make fun of me by comparing other boys or people who didn’t have a disability as better people than me, and even I lost friends due to them judging me about having a disability and not having an advance education. However I had gotten help with my disability like when I was a little kid I had a therapist Pam who worked with me on teaching time to help me learn to speak, in schools like elementary school through high school I had a T.A. who worked with me on learning subjects and had a special education program to help accommodate my disability, and at Washtenaw Community College I was able to get an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts with help from Learning Support Services by extending my accommodations like extra time on exams, use a recorder to record lectures to improve my note-taking, and have tutors work with me on different subjects. During my struggles when I get teased I watch your show to help me feel confident by watching on how you give advices with standing up for victims when they don’t get help that they need. Mr. Wilkos, your activism to supporting civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes, advocate for victims’ rights including victims of bullying, and  your show really inspires me to work hard on my disability and try my best to do well in life when I have struggles.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to help people who need help when they face different challenges as tv talk show host of the Steve Wilkos Show. Also I truly appreciate on how you support Civil Rights, people with disabilities’ rights, and social justice causes. Here is $5 for you to use for social justice causes. My letter is a gift to you for inspiring me and to wish you a Happy Birthday for March 9^th. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to make a great difference.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
