Dear Attorney General Frosh,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. Attorney General Frosh, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 46^th Attorney General of Maryland to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as Member of the Maryland Senate from the 16^th District from 1995-2015, I liked on how you pushed to improve background checks to help reduce a person with a criminal record or a mental illness from purchasing a weapon, supported legislation to help improve witness protection program to help protect victims of domestic violence from being found by their abuser, and worked to expand DNA database to provide assistance for law enforcement to catch criminals. In your current role as 46^th Attorney General of Maryland, I truly appreciated on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, prosecuting people who commit hate-crime to help protect people who are different, and investigating public places that violate civil rights legislation or practice different forms of discrimination. Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse, implementing more community service programs to help rehabilitate non-violent offenders along with non-violent juveniles to reduce them from re-offending, and expressing the need for funds to improve DNA testing including forensic science to help reduce sending an innocent person to jail while solve evidence efficiently is common sense for criminal justice reform.   To improve victim’s rights, I liked on how you worked with the law enforcement, the Office of Maryland Attorney General, and the court system to expand resources to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma and programs to help children who are abused or neglected get into the right family or foster care.  Another thing that I like about your work as Attorney General of Maryland  is how you went after public officials that are corrupted or accepted illegal bribes to help restore trust, prosecuted industries that illegally polluted the environment or violated environmental laws, and advocated for immigration reform to help protect immigrants or Dreamers including refugees from being oppressed.

Attorney General Frosh,  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 I enjoy visiting Maryland to see some sites like visiting Washington D.C. sites like the Smithsonian Museum to learn different topics, see the MLK memorial to pay respect to MLK who fought for Civil Rights,  and other attractions in Maryland.  Also your work in the Maryland state legislature and as current Attorney General of Maryland gives me motivation to continue to learn history including 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, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.  My letter is a gift to you for inspiring me and to wish you a Happy Birthday for October 8.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to improve criminal justice reform, protect Civil Rights, and push for common sense ideas.  You truly inspire me to work hard on my disability and be motivated to continue to learn history including social justice. My letter is a gift to you for inspiring me and to wish you a Happy Birthday for October 8th. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great impact on society, and inspiring me.  I wish you the best to continue to make a great difference for society in your current role as Attorney General of Maryland.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
