Dear Mr. Jesse Tyler Ferguson,

My name is Matt Winick and I’m a fan of your acting in different tv shows.  The tv shows that I enjoy watching you play in was The Class and currently in Modern Family. In Class,  I enjoyed the plot of the show where it followed different people who were alumni of a fictional Woodman Elementary School and learning how different main characters have different lives.  I enjoyed your character Richie Velch because I liked on how he works hard to overcome his struggles with losing a job, having a struggle with his marriage, and understanding his life.  Modern Family is an interesting show because I enjoy seeing how families have different personalities or traits on how they run their family or interact with other friends including neighbors. Mr. Ferguson,  I thought you do an excellent job portraying Mr. Mitchell Pritchett because I like on how you make Mitchell Pritchett have interesting traits like being a caring father for his adopted daughter Lily from Vietnam,  have sensitive qualities when dealing with different issues,  and working hard to overcome his struggle of being accepted by people about being a homosexual. Also what I like about your character is how Mitchell’s relationship between Cameron on how they work together in a relationship or taking care of the daughter when there are some disagreements.   Another thing is I was amazed when you guest starred on late night shows where I got to learn more about your comedic personality.  On the Late Show with James Corden, I thought you did an excellent job singing about how you want to tell your story because you have a great voice and how you did a great job expressing the lyrics while doing hand motions.

I have Autism and having it is difficult for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects, sometimes I struggle on communicating my thoughts, and get teased. Also having Autism is difficult because sometimes people don’t accept me, some people tease me, and I have trouble finding friends due to people being prejudice against me because I have a disability.  Your role as Mr. Mitchell Pritchett on trying to overcome different struggles especially looking for people to accept him for being different really inspires me to work hard on Autism, learn different things, feel comfortable about myself, and looking for good people to be friends with. Also your comedic work on late night shows got me really interested in learning the importance of having a sense of humor.  Another thing that I really like is how you are an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights, people who are LGBT, and minorities to get equal treatment and even be protected from being discriminated.

Mr. Ferguson, I strongly believe that you make a great difference as an actor and do such an excellent job making Mitchell Pritchett a great character to watch in Modern Family.  Also I do really think you do such a great job expanding on your character’s traits like working hard to have friendship and trying to remain strong when people have trouble accepting a person who is different.  I’m proud to call you a true role model for me.  You have inspired me to work hard on my disability, understand the need to find friends that are good, have a sense of humor while having good traits like being kind or open-minded, and be a fan of your work. Here is a picture of me for you to keep as a gift for inspiring me and also here is $5 as a donation for you to use to fund the arts or help people who a different. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, making a great difference as an actor, and inspiring me. I wish you well for future in acting and Broadway.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick

Dear Mr. Connors,

My name is Matt Winick and I’m a fan of watching police/ crime drama shows.  The main reason I’m a fan of these shows is because I like seeing how law enforcement works on solving different cases, how lawyers handle court cases, how forensic scientist evaluate evidence, and how the main character of the crime drama show use their different traits to solve a cases.  My favorite tv show that you played in was Mannix.  Mannix was a great show because I enjoyed the plot of the show about a private investigator named Joe Mannix who solves different cases.  I enjoyed watching all the seasons and every episode.  Another thing that I enjoyed about the show was on how you did a great job working with Gail Fisher who played as Peggy Fair who is a secretary for Detective Mannix on making them have a good working relationship where they help one another on different cases.  Mr. Connors, I thought you did an excellent job portraying private detective Joe Mannix because I liked on how you made him have great traits like exploring different theories to understand the motive for murder or how the crime was committed, being committed to find the truth including protecting the innocent or find evidence to prove a person’s innocence when they are accused of a crime, how made him have a sense of humor and how you were able to have a mix of balance between action while being a ladies man.  My favorite episodes of the show were Pressure Point, Fear I to Fall, and a Step in Time.  Mannix was also a great show because I liked on how it focus on different topics like what it is like racism against minorities to show the need to treat minorities fairly without discrimination, how people with disabilities can help solve cases when they have some limitations, and exploring the effects of the Vietnam War.

Mr. Connors, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.   Your role as private detective Joe Mannix and the show giving people with disabilities a chance to help your character solve different cases really inspire me to work hard on autism.  Showing people with disabilities having different abilities really helped me feel confident about how I can have some traits like understanding people’s work, interest in history, and be observant on different things. The Mannix show and your acting in the show got me really interested in watching more crime drama shows like Renegade, NYPD Blue, Law And Order franchise, CSI Miami, Chicago P.D., Perry Mason, Matlock, and Diagnosis Murder.  Also you inspired me to be interested in playing a videogame called L.A. Noire where you play a police officer where he becomes a detective solving different cases and reviewing evidence.  

I strongly believe that you and Gail Fisher did an excellent job making Mannix a great tv show to watch and having a great working friendship on different cases.  Mr. Connor, you did an excellent job making Joe Mannix  a great private detective with great traits.  I’m proud to be a fan of your work and the show.  Also I continue to watch re-runs of the show on Heroes and Icons channel because I enjoy your detective style.   Also here is a picture of me as a gift to you for inspiring me and $5 as a gift to treat yourself for doing a great job on making Mannix a great one.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, making Mannix a great tv show, and inspiring me.  I wish you well for the future.

Sincerely,

Governor David Ige

Office of The Governor

415 South Beretania Street

Honolulu, HI   96813

Dear Governor Ige,

My name is Matt Winick, an Asian American from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in studying history.  History is one of my favorite subjects because I like to learn the need to advance on Civil Rights to help protect people who are different from being discriminated, protect the environment from pollution by expanding on environmental protection with supporting renewable energy, find ways to improve public safety, and improve health care reform to help make public health better including assisting people get the care they need, and many others. Governor Ige, the reason I’m writing you a letter is because I find your work as Governor of Hawaii to be very inspiring to me.

In your role as current role as Governor of Hawaii, I like your commitment to be a strong supporter of strengthening Civil Rights to help protect women, minorities, people with different sexual orientation, and people with disabilities from being discriminated.  Also on Civil Rights, I liked on how you expanded protection to help protect people with disabilities from being discriminated in education including public places and increase funding for educational programs to help promote diversity of Asian Americans including Pacific Islanders. To improve public health, I was very proud on how you pushed for legislation to raise the age to 21 in order to buy cigarettes to reduce youth from getting health risks from smoking with second hand smoke and improve the Hawaii State Department of Health’s website to help consumers see how restaurants including food services do in food safety inspection.  Your commitment to protect the environment from pollution like expand funding to help protect national parks along with tourism from being polluted or disturbed and supporting renewable energy (wind, solar, biofuel, and energy efficient products) to help reduce high energy cost with reducing addiction to oil with gas is common sense. Another thing that I like about your role as Governor of Hawaii is taking the time to recognize people who work hard for the community, Hawaii, and the U.S. like environmental scientist, people with disabilities who work hard to contribute to society, women including minorities who advocate for Civil Rights, and many others.  

Governor Ige, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects or new things, sometimes I get teased by other people, and sometimes I struggle with communicating my thoughts.  Your work on supporting Civil Rights and protecting people with disabilities’ rights from being weakened really inspires me to work hard on Autism.  Also as an Asian American with a disability is hard for me because I get teased by some Asians including some Asian Americans due to them believing that I’m not perfect like them or that they believe that I don’t fit their high standards. Your role as an Asian American Governor of Hawaii, helping promote diversity, and helping people with disabilities including Asians with disabilities including Asian American with disabilities really inspires me to be condiment about being an Asian American with a disability and be interested in learning about diversity. Also your role as Governor of Hawaii really inspires me to continue being motivated to be interested in learning history, world culture, and the need for diversity. My future goal is someday teach history to help people learn the need to make society better or work in public policy to help create good ideas to make society a better place for people including people who are different. My letter is also a gift to you  for May Asian-Pacific Islander Heritage Month for making a great difference and to help honor influential Asian Americans who work hard to make a great difference.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in your current role as Governor of Hawaii.  You have inspires me to work hard on my disability, be confident about being an Asian American with a disability with being interested in Asian or Asian American culture, and to be interested in learning history with diversity.  I plan on continuing praising people who work hard to make a great difference or inspire me to continue working hard or learn more things. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make great achievements as Governor, and inspiring me. Please feel free to share my letter with your family and your administration. I hope someday I can visit Hawaii and I wish you well on continuing making a great difference for society.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick

Dear Senator Kassebaum Baker,

My name is Matthew Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in studying history and public policy. The main reason I  consider these subjects to be my favorite because I like to learn the need to advance on Civil Rights to help protect people who are different from being discriminated, protect the environment from pollution,  expand health care reform to help people with pre-existing conditions or who can’t afford get the care they need, and many others.  Senator Kassebaum Baker, I find your work as a moderate Republican U.S. Senator from Kansas on different issues to be very inspiring to me.

When you served in the U.S. Senate in 1978-1997, I liked on how you were a moderate Republican instead of going extreme and working with another political party on different issues.   On health care, I was very proud on how you were bipartisan by working with Democratic U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy from Massachusetts on creating health care legislation called The Kennedy-Kassebaum Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act which is to protect health insurance coverage for workers including their families when they leave or lose a job, expand on technology to find ways to reduce insurance fraud caused by insurance companies,  and many others. In the healthcare issue, I was very amazed on how you showed your moderate role on helping recruit moderate Republicans to help support this bill.  Your record on Civil Rights like supporting protecting women, minorities, and people with disabilities from being discriminated in public places including education, expressing the need for equal pay for women in workforce, and funding women including minorities’ businesses so they can compete in the economy is common sense.  Another thing on Civil Rights that I truly appreciated was how you joined Senator Bob Dole, Senator Richard Lugar, Senator Alan K. Simpson, Senator Tom Harkin, Senator Ted Kennedy, and Senator Harry Reid on supporting including passing The American With Disabilities Act of 1990 which is to protect people with disabilities from being discriminated in education including public places and even require them to have accommodations to help people with disabilities.  On the environment, I liked on how you supported the Clean Air Act of 1990 to require clean burning fuel to reduce carbon emissions including protect public health, expand on conservation to help protect national parks from being disturbed, and support the need for renewable energy like wind, solar, safe biofuel, and energy efficient products.

Senator Kassebaum Baker, 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 sometimes I struggle with communication.  Your support for the ADA of 1990 helped benefit me to be protected from being discriminated based on a disability by expanding on Civil Rights and helped me get an education. In education the ADA legislation helped set up accommodations in elementary school through community college that was extra time on exams, have T.A. or tutors work with me on different subjects,  allow educational software to help me work on improving comprehension, and use a recorder on lectures to help improve on note-taking. Also the ADA of 1990 helped set up close caption with subtitles when watching tv, movies, and documentary which really helps improve my vocabulary, understand speech, and even helps me learn different topics.  The ADA helped me get an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  My main focus in my degree is history, government, some science, some business, and criminal justice. I wanted to say that I’m sorry for your loss of your husband former U.S. Senator Howard Baker from Tennessee because he was a true inspiration to me to be interested in U.S. history and his quote “moderate isn’t a dirty word” really taught me about the need to have people represent good ideas instead of going too extreme or state controversial views.   

Senator Kassebaum Baker, I strongly believe that you and your husband made a great difference in your role as U.S. Senators. Again, I’m sorry for your loss and my prayers are for you to do well. Your support for the ADA of 1990 really helped benefit me for the future. You have truly made a great impact on me to continue working hard on Autism and to continue studying history.  Here is a picture of me as a gift to you for inspiring me. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me.  Please continue advocating for great ideas to help make society better.

Sincerely,

Matthew B. Winick

Dear State Representative Chang,

My name is Matt Winick, an Asian American from Ann Arbor, Michigan 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 being discriminated, protect the environment from pollution, and many others.

However, your commitment to help spread awareness about Asian Pacific Islanders and helping advocate Asians and Asian Americans with disabilities really inspires me to be proud to be an Asian American with a disability and to continue being interested in their culture and even understand the importance of their awareness.  Your work as State Representative really helps me continue being inspired to continue learning public policy with history to help understand the need to make society better. My main future goal is someday teach people about the need to learn not to repeat the same mistakes with the need to improve society or work in public policy to help create good common sense ideas to help society be a better place. My letter is also a gift to you for Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May to help recognize Asians including Asian Americans like you who make a great difference for society,

State Representative Chang, I strongly believe that you made a great difference in your current role as State Representative in House District 6. I’m very proud on how you work really hard to advocate for great ideas to make Michigan and history a better place. Another thing is I’m very proud on how you have the courage to help address the need for awareness of Asians and Asian Americans.  You have truly inspired me to work hard on my disability, be confident about being an Asian American with a disability, and continue my interest in history with public policy. I hope you enjoy my letter of appreciation and use it to help inspire you. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, making a great difference, and inspiring me. I wish you well for the future and to continue pushing for great ideas to make Michigan a better place.
