Dear
Congressman Crist,
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, and many others.
Congressman Crist, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I
find your work in public service to be very inspiring to me, how I enjoy
visiting St. Petersburg/Tampa Florida, and meeting you.
When you served as 35th Attorney
General of Florida from 2003-2007 and as 44th Governor of Florida
from 2007-2011, I truly appreciated on how you were a strong supporter of civil
rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, funding women
including minorities businesses to help compete in the economy, and working to
expand laws including prosecute people who commit hate-crimes to help protect minorities
including people who are different. On
the economy, I was very proud on how you had the courage as a moderate
Republican on working with President Obama to support The American Recovery Act
to help expand job training programs to help train youth including workers to
develop work-skills and advocate for the need to raise the minimum wage to help
minimum wage workers afford to live.
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 pollution while reduce high energy
cost, and pushing for funds to help clean parks including water resources along
with coastal areas to make them safe for people to use is common sense to
protect the environment. On education, I
like on how you supported funds to improve special education to help students
with disabilities get the accommodations they need to learn, pushed for after
school programs to provide students with help on their assignments from tutors,
and expanded more history, arts, literacy programs, and basic classes to
improve comprehension while make education diverse. Also when you were Governor of Florida I was
very proud on how you pushed for better protection for people with disabilities
to have accommodations when they visit attractions and supported funds to help maintain
historical sites, coastal area including
attractions to improve tourism. In your current role as Member of the U.S.
House of Representatives from Florida’s 13th District, I’ proud of
your continuous support of civil rights including people with disabilities’
rights, protect the environment from
pollution, and many others. Another thing that I like about your work in Congress
is how you are an advocate for immigration reform to help protect immigrants
including refugees from being oppressed, work hard to help bring funds to help
maintain coastal areas including attractions in St. Petersburg along with Tampa
to improve tourism while make it a great environment to learn.
Congressman Crist, 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 continuous support of civil
rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work
hard on my disability. Also your support
to improve people with disabilities’ rights in visiting attractions in Florida
helped benefit me when I visited places around Florida because when I visited sites like Disney
World, The Dali Museum, Ybor City, and
many others because the staff helped me understand different topics and also
they had audio services including close captions to help assist me on
comprehending. I enjoyed reading your book The Party’s Over:
How the Extreme Right Hijacked the GOP and I became a Democrat because you did
an excellent job explaining how you were a moderate Republican due to
supporting civil rights including environmental protection and becoming a
Democrat because you felt the party got too extreme. Your book also helped me
learn more about your work in public life.
On June 25th 2019, I really had such an excellent time
meeting you and explaining how I truly appreciate your commitment to support
civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights, how I enjoy visiting
Florida, and how you inspire me along with made an impact on me. Your service in public service helps motivate
me to continue to learn history including social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these
areas to help emphasize the need to learn the need to make civil rights stronger
to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, and many
others.
Even though you left the GOP due to being too
extreme and becoming a Democrat, I truly appreciate your continuous commitment
to make society a better place. Also I’m
very proud on how you work hard on public service to make civil rights
stronger, protect the environment, advocate for social justice, and many
others. You have inspire me to work hard
on my disability, learn more about your work, read your book, and continue to
learn different subjects. I want to say
thanks to your staff members in D.C. for helping me arrange a meet with you and
to say thank you for taking the time to meet with me. I really had a great time chatting with
you. Thanks for taking the time to read
my letter, working hard, and inspiring me. I have a picture of Congressman Crist
and me for you to keep as a gift for
inspiring me. Please continue to
advocate for common sense ideas and I hope that we can meet again. Best luck on
your re-election.
Sincerely,
Matt
Winick
