Dear
Governor Cooper,
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 for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce
discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, and many others. Governor Cooper, the main reason I’m writing
you a letter is to explain how I find your work as former North Carolina
Attorney General and as current 75th Governor of North Carolina to
be very inspiring to me.
When
you were 49th North Carolina Attorney General from 2001-2017, I
liked on how you prosecuted people who committed hate crime to help protect
minorities including people with disabilities, went after public officials that
were corrupt or accepted illegal bribes, and many others. In January 2017, I
wanted to say congrats on winning the 2016 North Carolina gubernatorial
election to become the 75th Governor of North Carolina. In your current role as Governor of North
Carolina , I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights
by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, expanding laws to combat against hate-crime
to help protect minorities including people who are different, and expressing
the need for equal pay for women to help protect them from being discriminated
based on gender. To improve the economy, I liked on how you
expand on job training programs to help train youth including workers to
develop work-skills to help prepare for the economy, advocate for the need to
raise the minimum wage to help minimum wage workers afford to live when both
political parties aren’t in favor of it, and push for laws to improve worker’s
conditions to help protect them on the job.
On education, I like on how you
worked hard to push for funds to improve special education to help students
with disabilities get the educational resources they need, expand on after school
programs for youth get help on their assignments from tutors, and advocate for
the need to increase funds for public schools including teachers pay to help
make schools safe for students, make educational classes ranging from science,
math, history, and arts to be diverse for people to learn. Supporting funds for renewable energy
resources to help reduce addiction to oil with gas, working with other city
mayors to help provide funds to clean parks including water resources to make
them safe for people to use, and
implementing more environmental education to help teach people about the need
to protect the environment while explain the benefits of the environment is
common sense to protect the environment. Your approach on criminal justice reform like expand
on drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce
drug abuse, signed laws to help protect victims of domestic violence or victims
of crime get protection order from judges, and express the need for more funds
in DNA testing including forensic science to reduce sending an innocent person
to jail while solve cases efficiently. Another thing that I liked about your
work as Governor Of North Carolina is how you advocate for ethics reform to ban gifts to public
officials including staff from lobbyist,
signed the STOP Act, to help
combat against opioids abuse, and pushed for a bill to install cameras on
school buses to help protect safety of students including reduce drivers who
illegally pass a school buses.
Governor
Cooper, I have autism with a 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 your role as 49th North
Carolina Attorney General and as current 75th Governor of North
Carolina gives me motivation 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, improve social justice
to make communities safe, and many others. My letter is a gift to you for inspiring me
and to wish you a Happy Birthday for June 13th. Another thing to add is I find your wife
First Lady Kristin Cooper’s work on advocating for Civil Rights including
people with disabilities’ rights, expressing the need to improve social justice
to be very inspiring to me.
I
strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society including
our country. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support Civil
Rights, improve social justice, and protect the environment. You have inspired me to work hard on my
disability and to continue to learn history with social justice. I have included a letter to your wife First
Lady Cooper to explain how she inspires me and I was wondering if you could
please give it to her. Thanks for taking
the time to read my letter, working hard to push for common sense ideas when
politics gets difficult, and inspiring me.
I wish you the best to continue to make a great impact on society.
Sincerely,
Matt
Winick
