Dear Mr. Malina,

My name is Matt Winick and I’m a fan of your acting. My favorite tv show that you starred in was The West Wing. The West Wing was a great political tv show about President Jed Barlett and his presidential administration on how they had to deal with the political system to help America. Mr. Malina, you’d an excellent job portraying as White House Deputy Communications Director and later White House Communications Director William Bailey because I liked on how you made him have different unique traits like using his skills in writing along with experience in communications to help President Jed Barlett speak on different issues, helps give advice to President Barlett including members of his presidential administration on different policies, and many others. Also what I liked about William Bailey is how he was compassionate for people including President Barlett along with members of administration when they have challenges, continuing his friendships along with working with President Barlett including his administration when they would have different ideas to help the country. I really enjoyed watching all the episodes of The West Wing in Season 1 through 7 because I enjoy seeing how President Bartlet including his administration would take different issues that our country faced.

Besides your acting career, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes to reduce discrimination.  Also on your activism, I like on how you speak about the need to protect voter’s rights from suppression, the importance of universal health care including stem cell research to help people who have pre-existing conditions or who can’t have insurance get the care they need including find ways to combat against different diseases, support abortion rights to allow women the right to choose, and heavily support environmental protection causes to reduce pollution. Mr. Malina, 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 in different settings, and get teased.  Another thing that I struggle with a disability is when other people including other adults get judgmental about me being different from them and have struggles to find different methods to improve myself.  Also I had done teaching time to help me learn to speak while learn how to improve my behavior, spent time in special education to help me learn different subjects in education, and many others.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes really inspires me to work hard on my disability and helps give me motivation to try to find different methods to improve myself when there are challenges.   Your role as White House William Bailey in West Wing and your activism helps me get interested in continuing to learn history, social justice, voter’s rights, and ideas of reform.  In these subjects,  I like to learn the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, the need for universal health care to help people who have pre-existing conditions or who can’t afford insurance get the care they need, and many others. I like watching documentaries, youtube, tedtalks, vice news, and historical based movies to engage my learning. 

I strongly believe that you are a very talented actor. You do such an excellent job making your characters have different unique traits. You really did a greta job making White House Communications Director William Bailey  a great character in The West Wing.  I truly appreciate your continuous activism to help out country including society along with people with disabilities’ rights. You truly inspire me to work hard on my disability, be a fan of your acting,  find different methods to improve myself when there are challenges, and 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 make a great difference for society.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
