Dear Honorable Henry,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in learn history. In history I like to learn the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, and have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime. Honorable Henry, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 14^th Attorney General of Oklahoma and as U.S. Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10^th Circuit to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as 14^th Attorney General of Oklahoma from 1987-1991, I was very proud on how you were a strong supporter of 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 or jobs that practiced discrimination or violated Civil Rights Act.  Another thing that I liked about your work as Attorney General of Oklahoma was on how you prosecuted industries that polluted the environment including water resources to make them safe for people, went after public officials that are corrupt or accepted illegal bribes from lobbyist, and pushed for more programs to  help victims of domestic violence get help from law enforcement resources to deal with their trauma. In February 1994, I liked on how you accepted President Bill Clinton to nominate you to serve on the U.S. Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10^th Circuit to help our country and improve the criminal justice system.  When you served as U.S. Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10^th Circuit from 1994-2010, I really liked on how you were a continuous strong supporter of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights and supported protecting civil liberties like the fourth amendment to help protect people form unreasonable search warrants. Another thing that I like about your work in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10^th Circuit advocated for the need for criminal justice reform like have more drug treatment programs to help non-violent drug users get the treatment they need to reduce drug addiction, have more forensic science including DNA testing to reduce sending an innocent person to jail expressed the need for the judicial system including law enforcement to reduce racial profiling to help protect minorities including immigrants from being oppressed, and the need for more victims’ rights to help the victims of crime get help from the judicial system. 

Honorable Henry, 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 work as Attorney General of Oklahoma and as U.S. Circuit Judge of the U.S. Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10^th Circuit gives me motivation to continue to learn history and social justice.  My future goal is to someday work in these areas to emphasize the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, a strong need for criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.

I strongly believe that you made a great difference when you served as Attorney General of Oklahoma and as U.S. Circuit Judge in the of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10^th Circuit.  I’m very proud on how you worked hard to support Civil Rights, advocate for criminal justice reform, and push for more programs to help protect victim’s rights.  You have inspired me to work hard on my disability and to continue my interest in learning history with social justice. I was wondering if you could please share some of your thoughts on what it was like serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10^th Circuit. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, making great achievements in the judicial system , and inspiring me. I wish you the best to continue your role as President of Oklahoma City University.

Sincerely,

916 W. Belknap Street, Suite 240

Fort Worth, Texas  76102

Dear Attorney Wilson,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in studying including learning history, social justice, and the criminal justice system. The main reasons I like these subjects is to learn the need to advance on Civil Rights to help protect people who are different from being discriminated, have government reform to reduce corruption in the government, and have checks and balances to help protect people’s civil liberties from being violated while finding ways to reduce crime.  The main reason I’m writing you a letter is because I find your youtube ads very interesting, your blog about ways- to understand the judicial system with how to protect your rights from being violated, and your life story to be very inspiring to me.

I saw on CNN a report about you doing an ad for Texas Law Hawk. I watched the ad and I thought it was funny, clever, and made some good points about how law enforcement need a warrant to search the place if they suspect a person. Also in the ads I liked on how there is a scenario about how to protect your rights from being violated by law enforcement. After watching your ads, I started reading your blog about the people’s rights, how they shouldn’t be violated, and describing what is legal or illegal. My favorite blog posts that you wrote are “Drinking in Public: Legal in Texas” and  “5 Things You Should Know When Police Come To Your House.”  In “5 Things You Should Know When Police Come To Your House” I liked on how you explain about how to protect yourself from law enforcement violating your rights by saying that people have most protection inside your home, law enforcement needs a warrant to enter your home,  when they do not have a warrant you don’t have to talk to them or open the door,  explaining the definition of “exigent circumstances”, and that you lose your rights if you let law enforcement in your home.   “In Drinking in Public: legal in Texas” does a great job explaining what is legal or illegal in drinking and does a great job of giving examples of what is illegal or legal in drinking situations.  Besides your law career and your law ads,  I really like on how you are a strong advocate for the need to support making Civil Rights stronger including people with disabilities’ rights to help protect minorities, women, and people with disabilities from being discriminated,  express the need to reduce racial profiling to help protect minorities along with immigrants from being oppressed,  and support the ideas of criminal justice reform like drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need,  improve victims’ or crime or domestic violence rights to help them get help from law enforcement resources on dealing with their trauma.

Attorney Wilson, 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 advocacy with support for Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Also your blog about how to protect your civil liberties helps me understand the importance of the need to protect people’s rights without losing their rights and learn more about the criminal justice reform.  When your story was featured on CNN I became more interested in reading more articles about you and your Texas Law Hawk.  Your Youtube videos of Bryan Wilson Texas Law Hawk and your work as a lawyer and your advocacy gives me motivation to continue to learn history including social justice and even the importance  of criminal justice reform with civil liberties. 

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society. Even though many law professions get critical about your approach on law including your commercials I strongly believe that  you are doing an excellent job explaining about the laws and how people’ rights should not be violated.  Also I’m very proud on how you are working hard to advocate for Civil rights, support criminal justice reform, and  finding ways to explain to people like me about the importance of civil liberties. You have inspired me to work hard on my disability, learn more about your work, and to continue to learn different subjects. I was wondering if you could please give me some advice about how to work hard on my disability and if you could please share with me how you inspired to get interested in law on a sheet of paper.  Feel free to let me know what you thought of my letter. Here is a picture of me with a nice message as a gift to you for inspiring me.  I hope someday I can get a chance to meet you and be part of your commercial The Texas Law Hawk.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, doing an excellent job  on making a difference, and inspiring me.  I wish you the best to continue to make a great impact on society and making more Bryan Wilson The Texas Law Hawk commercial.

P.S. I enjoy watching your commercials on Youtube. 

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
