Dear Attorney General Neronha,

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, protecting the environment from pollution, expand on criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. Attorney General Neronha, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work when you served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Rhode Island and as current 74^th Attorney General of Rhode Island to be very inspiring to me.

In 2009, I liked on how you accepted President Obama to nominate you to serve as U.S. Attorney for the District of Rhode Island to help him improve on criminal justice reform. when you served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Rhode Island from 2009-2017, I truly appreciated on how you were a strong supporter of civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, prosecuting people who commit hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different, and investigating public places that practice different forms of discrimination or when they violate civil rights legislation.  Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse, working with law enforcement to expand on resources to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma,  and expressing the need for funds in DNA testing including forensic science to help solve cases along with evidence efficiently while reduce sending an innocent person to jail is common sense for criminal justice reform.  In your current role as 74^th Attorney General of Rhode Island, I like on how you are a continuous strong supporter of civil rights, combat against hate-crime, and heavily support criminal justice reform.  Another thing that I like about your work as Attorney General of Rhode Island is how you went after industries that illegally pollute the environment or violate the environmental protection laws to help protect the environment while improve on public health,  prosecute public officials that accept illegal bribes or are corrupt, and launch investigation into insurance companies including financial institution that commit fraud or abuse.

Attorney General Neronha, 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 former U.S. Attorney for the District of Rhode Island and as current 74^th Attorney General of Rhode Island 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 help reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, expand on criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. My letter is a gift to you for inspiring to me and to wish you a Happy Birthday for December 17^th. My birthday is on December 3^rd.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society and the criminal justice reform.  I’m very proud on how you are working hard on supporting civil rights, protecting the environment, pushing for criminal justice reform, and many others. You have inspire 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 to me. Please continue to work hard to make a great difference and continue to advocate for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
