Dear Mr. Springer,

My name is Matt Winick with a strong interest in studying history with government and I like watching your show The Jerry Springer Show.  I’ve been a fan of your show since my childhood to present. Most of people that I know call me Matt Springer because I like watching your show.   The reason I like watching your show is; 1) I like how you treat your audience and the guest with kindness, 2) I like how you use humor with sarcasm on statements, and 3) I like how you do Jerry’s Final thoughts where you give advices about life, relationships, and many others.  I enjoy watching your show and every episodes Monday through Friday. Even I watch reruns on YouTube. The Jerry Springer Show is fun for me to watch because I enjoy the humor, listening to people’s stories in a humorous ways, and I like how you give people a chance to show their performances, and make stories clever with some plot twist.  When you do Jerry’s final thoughts I really like your advices about friendships and relationships like start slow before being in a relationships, don’t cheat on your partner if you are having relationship problems, when you have trouble with friendship with other people you should leave them before you are hurt by them, and many others.  Mr. Springer, you are a true inspiration to me because your advices helps give me the confidence in life when times are hard for me, your humor with politeness really makes me a fan of your show, and allowing people on the show to be creative.

Mr. Springer, besides your show I find your views in politics to be really inspiring to me like the need to help the poor with programs to reduce poverty, improve Civil Rights to end discrimination for people who are different (minorities, people with disabilities, gender, and people with different sexual orientation), a strong need to protect the environment.   Also what I like about you is that you advocate helping people with disabilities. Mr. Springer, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having a disability has been hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning new subjects and I get teased by other people about my disability.  However, your advocating to help people with disabilities really inspires me to be confident about working on my disability. Also The Jerry Springer Show really helps me have fun with humor watching people with creative stories, your show helps me feel confident about that you are not the only one facing problems, but people have problems, and also I like how you give advices on Jerry’s final thoughts.  I believe that you made a great difference for history and the media with your activism with creativity on a talk show. Mr. Springer, I’m sending you my story about working on my disability with how you inspire me. I want to wish you well on your show with Baggage, life, and your birthday.

P.S.:

I’m sending you a card for your birthday with $5 as a gift for you to celebrate. I hope you have a great birthday.

Sincerely,

Dear Justice Bernstein,

My name is Matthew Winick with a strong interest in history and government. I enjoy studying these subjects because I want to learn the need to advance on improving Civil Rights to protect people who are different from discrimination, the need for government reform to reduce corruption with money in elections including government officials from lobbying groups, and a strong need to have checks and balances to protect people with civil liberties when reducing crime. Your story about working hard on overcoming your disability really moves me. Justice Bernstein, I find your work as an attorney at Law Office of Sam Bernstein helping people with disabilities’ rights and advocating for them to be really inspiring to me. I was amazed by your work to get accommodations to help people with disabilities who attend the game to watch at the stadiums by making parking, restrooms, seating, and food services accessible to help people with disabilities get access.  Another thing I was amazed was when you challenged the Oakland County due to it violating the Americans With Disability Act of 1990 and this resulted in having technology to assist pedestrians including people with disabilities to cross the street along it crossing the roundabout. Your work to help people with disabilities really moved me because I have Autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning new subjects, it takes me longer to work on assignments, and I get teased by other people. The Americans With Disability Act of 1990 changed my life by improving Civil Rights to help protect me from discrimination and for education I was able to get accommodations like extra time on exams, have a special education program to work with me on improving comprehension, have a tutor or T.A. work with me on subjects, and use a recorder to record lectures to help me improve on note-taking.  Even though the ADA helped benefit me I still have trouble with a disability. However, Justice Bernstein your work as an attorney and an activist for people with disabilities’ rights really inspire me to work hard on my disability and to feel proud to have an activist standing up for people’s rights including people with disabilities.

Justice Bernstein, I was proud to vote for you in the 2014 Michigan Supreme Court election. You ran a great campaign with positive ads, emphasize the need to expand rights for people who are different including people with disabilities, and express the need to reform the criminal justice system. You are a true inspiration to me and from a person with a disability with a strong interest in history I strongly believe that you really make a great difference for our state, Civil Rights, me, and many people who are different by supporting equal rights with supporting people with disabilities rights.  I want to say congrats on becoming the next Michigan Supreme Court Justice and I wish you well for the future.

Sincerely,

Matthew B. Winick

Dear Mr. Sheen,

My name is Matthew Winick and I enjoy watching you act in movies and also my favorite T.V. Show The West Wing. My favorite movies that you played in are Wall Street, The Departed, Catch Me If You Can, The American President, and Bobby. Besides watching you play in movies I really like when you narrated Eyewitness series and JFK. Your narrations really help motivate me to get interested to learn more about science and history. Mr. Sheen, history is my favorite subject because I am interested to learn how the world works, learn from mistakes, learning the strong need for Civil Rights to end discrimination for people who are different, and understand how government can help benefit society with programs or job training programs. Through out my student life from middle school through college I enjoy taking world history, American History, and other history classes. The West Wing really helped me get interested in Presidential history because of how you portrayed as President Jed Bartlet with some great achievements. I really enjoy watching The West Wing because I enjoy your acting, understand how a presidential administration works, and how to deal with Congress. As a fan of the West Wing I enjoy learning about different characters personality with their political stance and watching all episodes of season 7.  This show got me really interested to study about different U.S. President’s work, finding if they had achievements, and visit Presidential libraries to learn more about their background.  Also the show helped me understand that government can help benefit society. As an American with a mix race including a learning disability with Autism I am proud to have been benefit well from different President like President Obama through the Stimulus package which helped put me in a job training program, The ACA under Obama helped me with health care, President Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Bush sr., Clinton, and Obama have improve Civil Rights with continuing to work on helping protect minorities, gender, people with disabilities, and people with different preferences from being discriminated, and The American With Disabilities Act helped benefit me to get accommodations in education with having programs to help my disability with improving my comprehension under President George H.W. Bush.

Mr. Sheen thank you for taking the time to read my letter, helping me get inspired to learn history, and making The West Wing a great show with great acting and helping me understand more about presidency. Mr. Sheen, you have helped make a difference in my life by getting me motivated to learn more about President’s history and give me confidence by learn how the government can help benefit people like me through legislation. I wish you well for you for the future, acting, and continuing your activism to help people who are different from discrimination with helping people understand the benefit of government with the need for reform.

Sincerely,

Matthew B. Winick

Dear Governor Beebe,

My name is Matthew Winick and I have a strong interest in studying history, political science, the criminal justice, some business, and many others. Governor Beebe I find your work as Governor of Arkansas to be very interesting.   Your ideas with achievements for example helping children with special needs like programs to help end hunger, help students with disabilities get an education, assist children who are in poverty, and improve health care coverage for them really makes a difference and your work really inspires me.  Governor Beebe, I have Autism with a learning disability and I am proud to have you advocating to have programs to help people with disabilities get the care they need.  Having a disability is hard because I have trouble comprehending on learning new subjects and get teased by other people. I have benefited well from government programs like The Americans With Disability Act (ADA) because it helped me get an education without being discriminated by having accommodations to help me learn like having a T.A. or a tutor work with me on subjects, have extra time on exams with homework, special education programs helped me get the help I need with getting accommodations, and use a recorder to record lectures to help improve my note taking. Also the ADA helped me get protected under Civil Rights. Even though I benefited well from government programs, I still find that it is hard to continue working to overcome my disability. However, people like you, Governor Jack Markell, Lincoln Chafee, Dannel Malloy, Jay Inslee, Martin O’Malley, Steve Bullock, and Peter Shumlin are making a difference to help people with needs and assist people who need help being protected from discrimination.  Your advocating to helping people with disabilities with these governors really help me feel confident because you and many of them are working to make a future, our country, and history a better place.  

Besides your work to help people with disabilities your work as Governor of Arkansas really amazed me.  For example reducing your state grocery tax to help balance the budget with helping protect the middle class from a regressive tax on groceries, working on education reform like helping children with special needs by using programs, having alternative pay for teachers with more programs to get teachers to help educate people in rural areas where they struggle to learn, and having mentoring programs to help people be motivated in getting an education. Your education reform idea is a common sense idea and makes a great example of what we need today. Even though it might be expensive however I like your ideas with belief that education is important for the future and to help people get the education with care they need.  From a person with a disability with my history perspective I strongly believe that you are making a great difference with your advocating and your ideas for education reform. Someday I thinking about running for Governor for Michigan and I was wondering if you have any advice for me about Governor’s roles or how they should do policy work. I want to wish you well on continuing your role as Governor of Arkansas. When you retire I want you to continue advocating to help people with special needs including people with disabilities and education reform.

Sincerely,

Matthew B. Winick
