Dear Attorney General Slatery III,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have 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 Slatery III, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 27^th Attorney General of Tennessee and as a moderate Republican to be very inspiring to me.

In your current role as 27^th  Attorney General of Tennessee, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and prosecuting people who commit hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different.   Supporting drug-treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug-abuse, working with law enforcement including the office of the Tennessee Attorney General to expand resources to help victims of domestic violence or victims of crime get help on dealing with their trauma, and expressing the need for more funds in 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. Another thing that I like about your work as Attorney General of Tennessee is how you went after industries  that illegally polluted the environment or violated environmental protection laws to help protect public health while reduce pollution,  prosecute public officials that accept illegal bribes or are corrupt to reduce corruption in government, and push for educational awareness programs to help educate youth including people about the need to reduce drug-abuse including gun violence.  Also I liked on how you had the courage to withdraw from joining other Republican Attorney Generals on a proposed lawsuit against the federal government on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Policy which helps protect DACA children from being deported, advocate for the need for immigration reform to help protect immigrants including refuges along with DACA children from being oppressed, and support the need to investigate detention centers that abuse or poorly treat Dreamers or immigrants. Also I like on how you are a moderate Republican on supporting Civil Rights, pushing for criminal justice reform, advocate for the need for immigration reform, and better protection on environment.

Attorney General Slatery III, 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 27^th Attorney General of Tennessee 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 have immigration reform to help protect immigrants including refugees from being oppressed. 

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference.  I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support Civil Rights,  protect the environment, push for criminal justice reform, and advocate for immigration reform.  Another thing that I like is how you are a moderate Republican on advocating for common sense ideas when the GOP gets too extreme.  You have inspired me to work hard on my disability and to continue to learn history including social justice.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to   support with advocate for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
