Dear Ms. Escutia,
My name is Matthew Winick from Ann
Arbor, Michigan and I have a huge interest in studying history including public
policy. The main reason I have a strong
interest in these areas to learn the need to advance on Civil Rights to reduce
discrimination, need to help victims of
crime get the care they need, have
healthcare reform to help people including children get the medical care they
need, and many others. Ms. Martha M.
Escutia, I find your work as California State Senate to be very inspiring to me
on different issues.
When you served in the California State
Senate in 1998-2006, I liked on how you pushed for legislation to allow schools
to promote with implementing healthy foods for school lunches including
nutrition programs to help children get the nutrition that they need and to
reduce health risks. On dealing with the
criminal justice system, I was amazed on your role as Chair of the Senate Judiciary
Committee on making the court system be access to help the poor including
victims get the help they need when dealing with an issues and helping victim’s
rights by creating a Self Help Center to help assist with represent the victims
of negligence, abuse, and fraud get the assistance they need when going through
court or recovering from a trauma. Also
I liked on how you helped children on getting their own court-appointed
advocates for child custody cases to help protect a child’s well being or to
recommend on how to help a child during a custody hearing. I liked your
approach on improving education by creating remedial education programs to help
students that struggle learning or have a disability get assistance on learning
different subjects and funding special education to help students with
disabilities on getting accommodations with assistance on learning education. To help improve the environment, I liked on
how you created Children’s Environmental Health Protection Act to help protect
children from unhealthy levels of air pollution caused by air contaminants, and
supporting AB 289 Detecting Commercial Chemicals to allow state agencies to
require manufacturers to identify which chemicals are being used, limit on how
much chemicals can be used, and have manufacturers work with the state to find
ways to detect the chemicals in the environment to help reduce health risk from
toxic chemicals and to help make
manufactures work on finding ways to make products in a safe way without
endangering other people.
Ms. Escutia, your work on reforming the
criminal justice system got me to be very inspired to take a Intro To Criminal
Justice course at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I enjoyed taking the class because I got to
learn about how the court system works, Miranda rights, law enforcements, and
different Supreme Court cases. Also in the class my instructor emphasized about
the need to make the criminal justice system better by providing better care
and assistance to help the victims of crime including children. My instructor also worked with me on creating
ideas for reforming the criminal justice system like treatment programs to help
rehabilitate drug users to reduce them from being addicted to drugs, have
community services for non-violent offenders including juveniles to help them
from re-offending, more counseling programs to help victims of crime recover
from trauma, have DNA testing for cases to reduce sending innocent people to a
jail for a crime they didn’t commit, and many others. I have Autism with a learning disability and
having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on
learning different subjects and I struggle with speech when communicating with
other people. Even though special
education and accommodations helped me get an education, I still struggle with
it. Your work on helping people with disabilities get an education they need
with helping them get accommodations really inspires me to work hard on Autism
with a learning disability and to continue learning different subjects.
I strongly believe that you made a
great difference in your role as California State Senator on improving nutrition
for children in schools, helping students with illiteracy problems including
students with a disabilities get assistance on learning different subjects,
protect the environment from pollution, and reform the criminal justice system
to help victims of crime get care that they need. Your work really inspired me
to be interested in studying history, learning about the criminal justice with
the need for reform to make the system better, and to work hard on Autism. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter,
making great achievements to make society better, and inspiring me.
Sincerely,
Matthew B. Winick
