Dear Commissioner Siciliano,

My name is Matthew Winick with a strong interest in studying history and public policy. The main reason I have a strong interest in studying these subjects is to learn the need to advance on Civil Rights to help protect people who are different from discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have healthcare reform to help people get the care they need, improve working conditions including worker’s rights to help them do well in the economy, and many others. Honorable Siciliano, I find your work in serving in President Eisenhower’s administration as his advisor, as an assistant secretary in U.S. Department of Labor, and as Special Assistant to President for Personnel management to be very inspiring to me.

During the President Eisenhower’s presidency, I was very proud on how you and other Civil Rights activist including lawyers meet with President Eisenhower to discuss about the need to have Civil Rights to reduce discrimination.  Under your role as Assistant Secretary in the U.S. Department of Labor, I liked on how you worked with President Eisenhower to help continue creating jobs to help workers fix roads including buildings to help improve standard of living and making sure that workers including people who worked get a minimum wage increase to help them afford living.   After being Assistant Secretary, I liked on how you were committed to be helping President Eisenhower in your role as Special Assistant to the Presidential for Personnel Management by advising him on different policies especially Civil Rights and making sure federal civilian employees had great management including benefits.  Another thing is I am very proud of how you worked hard as the Chairman of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission to help educate people about President Eisenhower and the need for a memorial in Washington D.C.

Your work as Chairman of Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission got me to be very interested in being a strong supporter of the memorial.  Your role as Chairman of Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission got me to write an endorsement letter supporting the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial’s goal in 2014.  I was very proud to endorse the commission including the design because it does a great job reflecting President Eisenhower’s legacy and I like the E-Memorial idea where technology can help people learn more about President Eisenhower’s life with his work.  Commissioner Siciliano , I have Autism with a learning disability and having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects. Technology including audio with close caption helps me improve my comprehension and helps me work on vocabulary. As a person with a disability, I strongly believe that the E-Memorial is a good idea to help people comprehend well, motivate them to learn, and help people with disabilities like me. Also your work in President Eisenhower’s administration on making a great difference for American got me really interested in studying President Eisenhower’s life with his presidency, continuing my interest in learning history, and vising the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene Kansas.  In September 2015, I visited the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum and I enjoyed it because I enjoyed learning about the early life of IKE, his military career especially World War II, and his presidency. 

Commissioner Siciliano, I strongly believe that you made a great difference in history by serving in President Eisenhower’s administration and as Chairman of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission.  Your work has made a great positive impact on me to be a supporter for this memorial, continue to learn history, and praise some of the members of the advisory committee because they have made a great impact on me with their work including inspiring me to work hard on Autism and to learn history.  Here is a copy of my essay of President Dwight D. Eisenhower that I wrote for my U.S. History class at Washtenaw Community College and a copy of my endorsement letter as a gift to you for making a great impact on me. I hope you enjoy my items. I’m also including a picture of me for you to keep for working hard to make a great difference and inspiring me.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make President Eisenhower have a great legacy, and inspiring me. I wish you well to continue advocating for his memorial.

Sincerely,

Matthew B. Winick

Dear Attorney Killian,

My name is Matthew Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in studying history and public policy.  These subjects are my favorite because I like to understand the need to advance on Civil Rights to help protect people who are different from being discriminated, improve regulations to help combat against fraud to protect people, have checks and balances in the criminal justice system to reduce crime while protecting people’s civil liberties, and many others. Attorney Killian, I find your work as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee from 2010-2015, I liked your commitment to be a strong supporter of protecting minorities, women, and people with disabilities from being discriminated and advocating to help strengthen Civil Rights.   On health care issues, I was very proud on how you prosecuted health insurance companies that committed health care fraud against the people, worked with other U.S. Attorneys to combat against illegal prescription distribution, and expand treatment programs to help drug users get the care they need to reduce drug addiction.  Another thing that I liked was on how you used an approach to help combat against healthcare fraud was creating educational awareness to explain to people about ways to avoid health care fraud and explain different tips on preventing health care fraud. Your commitment to reduce crime like combating against illegal firearms to reduce gun violence, prosecuting people who commit hate-crime to reduce violence, and working with U.S. Attorneys including President Obama to combat against financial fraud caused by the financial institutions is common sense.  

Attorney Killian, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having Autism is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects, sometimes struggle with communication when speaking with other people, and I get teased.  Your strong commitment to be a strong supporter of protecting Civil Rights, assisting minorities, women, and people with disabilities from being discriminated, and advocating for people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on Autism and to be interested in learning.  Your role as U.S. Attorney on combating against healthcare fraud including creating educational awareness about the need to prevent health care fraud got me interested in watching documentaries about the need to improve laws to reduce fraud against the people, victims of fraud including health care fraud’ stories about how they work hard to overcome their struggles, and explain how different companies or insurance companies commit fraud, abuse, and waste on people including tax-payer’s money.   In winter semester of 2014, I took a class called “Intro To Criminal Justice” at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  In my class, I enjoyed learning about how the court system works, how law enforcement works, Miranda Rights with civil liberties, and how different Supreme Court cases or different laws affect the criminal justice system. My instructor worked with me on creating different ideas about reforming the criminal justice system in my project like the need for drug treatment programs to help drug users get the treatment they need to reduce drug addiction, fund D.N.A. testing with forensic science to reduce wrongful conviction, establish an education awareness program to help educate people about the need to reduce crime along with ways to protect them from different types of crime, have community services to help non-violent offenders including juveniles rehabilitate from re-offending, and expand programs to help victims of violence get the assistance they need to recover from trauma, and many others.  Your work as U.S. Attorney really inspired me to be interested in learning about the criminal justice system, understand the need to combat against fraud, and to continue my strong interest in history.  My main goal is to use what I learn from these subjects to help teach people about the need to improve society or work in public policy to help create common sense ideas to help make society better and stronger for the people.

Attorney Killian, I strongly believe that you made a great difference as U.S. Attorney on making society better by combating against crime while using common sense ideas to help educate people about how to prevent crime or protect themselves. You and your work has made a great impact on me to work hard on Autism, be interested in learning about the criminal justice system, and continue learning history.  I was wondering if you could please explain what it was like being U.S. Attorney and give me advice about continuing my interest in history, criminal justice, and public policy.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue advocating for great common sense ideas to improve criminal justice system.

Sincerely,

Matthew B. Winick

Dear Ms. Park,

My name is Matt Winick, an Asian American and I am a fan of your acting.  In 2010 I heard that there was going to be a remake of Hawaii 5-0 and I got really excited because I myself am a huge fan of Hawaii 5-0 old version. As a Hawaii 5-0 fan I use to watch all the episodes and I enjoy watching the cast members from the show.   After watching the old version of Hawaii 5-0 show I always hoped for a remake version of Hawaii 5-0. On September 20, 2010 I watched the Pilot episode of the show and I really liked the first episode. In the first episode I liked how the task force came together to fight against crime and I thought you did a great job acting as Kono along with Alex O’Loughlin as Steve McGarrett, Scott Caan as Danny Williams, and Daniel Dae Kim as Chin Kelly.  After watching the 1^st episode I became a really huge fan of watching the remake version of the show.  In the show I like seeing the beautiful parts of Hawaii, seeing the main cast working together on solving cases, and having a little humor.   Ms. Park, I think you do a great job playing Officer Kono because I like how you make her personality interesting like being commitment to help the taskforce when they need help, having courage to stand up for what is right, and having good working relationships with the other taskforce members. Also I appreciate you for working well with the main characters of the show and you really help make the show become better.  

I took an Intro to Criminal Justice class and I enjoyed learning about how the criminal justice system works. The class was very difficult for me, but the Hawaii 5-0, you and the other cast members helped me get motivated to be interested in learning more about he criminal justice system. Eventually I passed my class with a B because the motivation from Hawaii 5-0 show helped give me confidence to continue learning more about the criminal justice system.  As a Hawaii 5-0 fan I enjoy watching all of the seasons, enjoy watching you, Mr. Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim, Masi Oka, Jorge Garcia, and Chi McBride work together to make episodes of Hawaii 5-0 fun to watch with humor, and I look forward to continuing watching season 6.  Ms. Park, thank you for taking the time to read my letter and making a great difference to make Hawaii 5-0 fun with your character and making the cast members stronger.  Keep up the good work and I am excited to see more Hawaii 5-0 episodes.

P.S. please explain to me what it is like playing in a cop drama show and explain your thoughts on your character Kono on a sheet of paper that I have provided.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick

Dear Attorney Marsh,

My name is Matthew Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in learning history, public policy, and criminal justice. These subjects are y favorite to learn because I like to learn the need to advance on Civil Rights to help protect people who are different from being discriminated, find ways to improve public safety while reducing crime, and many others.  Attorney Marsh, I find your work as former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida very inspiring to me.

When you served as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida from 2010-2015, I was very proud on your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights and protect women, minorities, people with disabilities, and people with different sexual orientation from being discriminated in public and education. To help improve Civil Rights, I liked on how you prosecuted people who committed hate-crimes to protect victims of hate-crimes and advocating for the need to reduce hate-crime to make society better including people who are different.   Your commitment to combat against financial fraud like prosecuting IRS identity theft, working with other U.S. Attorneys including President Obama with then Attorney General Eric Holder to refund fraud cases to improve investigations with helping victims of financial fraud get justice they need, and pushing for educational awareness to help people learn about how to protect themselves from financial fraud is common sense.  Another thing that I was amazed was on how you your role as U.S. Attorney to create the Big Bend Coalition Against Human Trafficking, an agency group filled with government officials, law enforcements, and advocates for victim’s rights to work together to find ways to help victims of human trafficking while combating against human trafficking crimes.   Also I liked on how you established public school educational programs to help teach children about the dangers of gun violence and help teachers including school officials learn how to protect students from gun violence in schools.  After you left your role as U.S. Attorney I am very proud on your commitment to continue advocating for the need to reduce human trafficking crime, expand programs to help victim of crime especially victims of human trafficking, support people with disabilities’ rights, and need to advance on Civil Rights to reduce discrimination.

Attorney Marsh, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects and sometimes I struggle with communication when speaking with other people.  Also having a disability is hard for me because I get teased by other people.  Your work as U.S. Attorney on protecting Civil Rights, prosecuting hate-crimes, and advocating for people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on Autism and to be interested in learning different subjects.  Your commitment to work hard to create a coalition to combat human trafficking, implement a treatment program to help victim of human trafficking, and prosecute people who commit human trafficking got me very interested in learning the need to reduce human trafficking by watching documentaries about human trafficking with learning on how victims of that crime work hard to recover. In 2014, I took an Intro To Criminal Justice class at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the class I enjoyed learning about how the court system works, how law enforcement works, Miranda rights, different Supreme Court cases, and different criminal justice terms. My criminal justice instructor also explained to me about how criminal justice reform is important like fund DNA testing with forensic science to reduce wrongful convictions, create education awareness to help educate people about the need to stay away from crime, have drug treatment program to help drug users get the treatment they need so they won’t get addicted, have community service to help non-violent offenders with juveniles get help to reduce re-offending, and expand programs to help victims of crime get the assistance they need to recover from trauma.   Attorney Marsh, your work as U.S. Attorney gives me motivation to continue being interested in leaning history to understand the need to improve society and how ideas can shape the world.

Attorney Marsh, I strongly believe that you made a great difference for society in your role as U.S. Attorney where you worked hard to reduce crime while implement common sense ideas to help people be protected from crime or get the help they need.  You have made a great impact on me to continue to work hard on Autism, motivate me to learn about how there are good ideas to make society better, and be interested in learning history including criminal justice.  My future goal is someday to use what I learn to teach history or work in public policy to help educate people about the need to improve society with common sense ideas. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference for society, and inspiring me. I was wondering if you could please share some advice about working hard on Autism and explain what it was like being U.S. Attorney. I wish you well for the future where you can continue advocating for great ideas.

Sincerely,

Matthew B. Winick
