Dear Mayor Casper,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in learning history and social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, and many others.  Mayor Casper, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as current Mayor of Idaho Falls, Idaho to be very inspiring to me. 

In your current role as Mayor of Idaho Fall, Idaho I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, supporting funds to help women including minorities businesses compete in the economy, and expressing the need to strengthen Civil Rights to help protect minorities including people who are different from being discriminated.   On the environment, I like on how you are supporting funds for renewable energy resources to help reduce addiction to oil with gas, encouraging businesses including industries to use energy-efficient products to help reduce high energy cost while reduce pollution, and working to improve city services to help clean parks including water resources to make them safe for people to use. Funding special education to help people with disabilities get the educational resources they need, pushing for more afterschool programs to provide youth to get help on their assignments, and expanding programs to help train teachers including school staff to help improve their skills to help students is common sense to improve education.  I like your approach on improving the economy by expand job-training programs to help train youth including workers to develop work skills and provide tax-credits to small businesses along with local businesses to help them hire workers.  Another thing that I like about your work as Mayor of Idaho Falls, Idaho is how you established a Citizen Review Committee to help review how city government is helping the community including have citizens give ideas to them on how to improve society,  work on fixing roads to reduce potholes,  advocating for the need to reduce racial profiling in law enforcement to help protect minorities including immigrant from being oppressed,  support programs to help victims of domestic violence along with victims of crime get help from law enforcement resources to help reduce their trauma, and push for more treatment programs to help drug users get the care they need to reduce drug addiction.  Also I especially like on how you are a moderate Republican on supporting Civil Rights, pushing for environmental protection while support renewable energy, expressing the need for immigration reform to help protect immigrants along with refugees from oppression, push for funds to help restore historical sites including parks to improve tourism while make learning history a better place and many others.

Mayor Casper, I have autism with learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Also I enjoy following your Facebook page Mayor Rebecca Casper and learning about your work as Mayor of Idaho Falls, Idaho.  Also your role as Mayor of Idaho Falls motivates me to continue to learn history and social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, and many others. My letter is a gift to you for inspiring me and for Woman History Month to help recognize women who work hard to make a great difference for society. 

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in your current role. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support Civil Rights, push for environmental protection, and many others. You have inspired me to work hard on my disability, learn more about your work, and to continue to learn history including social justice.    Another thing to add is that I really like on how you as a moderate Republican are working together with other different U.S. Mayors across American to find common sense solutions like environmental protection, civil rights, and social justice.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. I was wondering if you could pleas give me some advice about working hard on my disability and share what Idaho Falls, Idaho is like. I wish you the best to continue to make a great impact on society and congrats on winning your re-election in 2017.

Sincerely,
