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
