Dear The Honorable Kmiec,
My name is Matthew Winick from Ann
Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in studying history, world culture, and
public policy. The main reason I have a strong interest in these subjects is to
learn the need to advance on Civil Rights to help protect people who are
different from being discriminated, improve health care to help people get the
care they need, understand the need for diversity to help make society
better, and learn the need to improve
relations with other countries to reduce tensions, and many others. Honorable Kmeic, I find you work as a legal
scholar, as an author, as a U.S. Ambassador to Malta to be very inspiring to
me.
In your role as a legal scholar, I
liked on how you wrote books about the U.S. Constitution and how there is a
strong need to protect people’s civil liberties like the first amendment,
fourth amendment, fifth amendment, and six amendment from being violated. Another thing that I liked about your work as
a legal scholar is how you express support for advancing Civil Rights to
protect women, minorities, and people with disabilities from being discriminated
and advocate for people with disabilities’ rights. Another thing that I liked was on how you had
good reasonable approach to being catholic with describing how catholic should
led by example like how Catholic should not use their religion to discriminate
people who are different, the need for separation between church and state, and
how they should support health care services for women including people who are
poor get the medical care they need. In
2008, I was very proud on how you express abut being opposed to Proposition 8
that was to allow a state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex couples from
marrying each other including limiting their rights due to violating religious
liberty for churches to marry same-sex couples and how it violated separation between
church and state in an article that you wrote.
During the 2008 Presidential election, I was very proud on how you being
a moderate Republican with a Catholic background endorsing Barack Obama, a
democratic candidate for the Presidential race due to agreeing with Obama about
the need improve wages to help minimum wage workers afford to live, have
healthcare to help people who are poor or can’t afford get the help they need,
and reduce the War in Iraq due to the cost of lives lost. Honorable Kmiec, I really liked your article “Can
A Catholic Support Him? Asking the Big Question About Barack Obama” because I
liked on how you explain who you support Barack Obama due to some of his
support for some of the Catholic principles. When Barack Obama became President of the
United States, I was very proud on you accepting to become U.S. Ambassador to
Malta to help improve relations between U.S. and Southern Europe and help
President Obama work hard to make a great difference. As U.S. Ambassador to Malta, I was proud on
how you created a resettlement to help protect refugees including families
including giving them freedom be protected from the violence in sub-Saharan
Africa and play a strategic role in helping U.S., European Union, and South
European countries to work together to reduce nuclear weapons, human
trafficking, and drug smuggling to make a world a safe place even reduce
tensions.
Honorable Kmeic, I have Autism with a
learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble
comprehending in learning different subjects, struggle with speech, and
sometimes get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights
including being an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights really
inspires me to work hard on Autism. Your
work as an author and as a legal scholar got me very interested in learning
more about how the U.S. Constitution plays a role in our country including how
civil liberties are important to be protected. Even though I’m a Christian your
advocacy for making religion a better place to help people instead of going too
extreme helps me be motivated to have faith in religion and understand the
importance on how religion can help shape society. Also your work as U.S.
Ambassador inspired me to continue my interest in learning history and taking a
class about world history at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. In my world history class, I enjoyed learning about different
countries, understanding the need to improve relations or work with other
countries to reduce tension, how different ideas or inventions helped shaped
the world, and learning about how famous figures had an impact on the world. My
main future goals is to continue studying history, teach people about the need
to improve society, work in public policy to help create good ideas to make a
world a better place, and even continue to praise people who work hard to make
a great difference or who inspire me like you.
Honorable Kmeic, I strongly believe
that you made a great difference for the world and society in your role. I’m
very proud on how you worked hard to advocate for good ideas, express the need
for religion to help people, work with another political party to help move our
country forward, and improve relations between the U.S. and Europe. You have inspired me to work hard on Autism,
learn the importance of how religion can be used for good things, and to
continue my interest in history including public policy. I was wondering if you
could please share with me what it was like being U.S. Ambassador and ways to
continue being interested in history with public policy. Thanks for taking the
time to read my letter, working hard to make a world a better place, having the courage to work with President
Obama, and inspiring me . Here is a picture of me as a gift to you for
inspiring me. Please continue advocating for good ideas to reduce tension
between other countries and to make law a better place for people.
Sincerely,
Matthew B. Winick
