Dear U.S. Circuit Judge Rosenbaum, 

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 for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, expand on criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. U.S. Circuit Judge Rosenbaum, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work in the judicial system to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as U.S. District Judge for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida from 2012-2014, I truly appreciated on how you were a strong supporter of civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, pushing for strict sentencing for people who commit hate crime to help protect minorities including people who are different, and expressing the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination. Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse, working with the court system to expand resources to help victims of crime including victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma, and advocating along with supporting the need for funds to better improve DNA testing including forensic science to help solve evidence efficiently while reduce sending an innocent person to jail is common sense. In your current role as U.S. Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals  for the 11th Circuit,  I like on how you are a continuous strong supporter of civil rights including criminal justice reform.  Also what I like about your work in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals is how you support protecting civil liberties like the fourth amendment to help protect people from unreasonable searches. Another thing that I like about your work in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit is how you are an advocate for the need for better voter protection laws to help protect voters from losing their rights due to voter suppression, emphasize the importance of have an integrity unit to reduce wrongful conviction, and  the need for better ethics laws to reduce corruption including police misconduct in the judicial system. 

U.S. Circuit Judge Rosenbaum, 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. Your work as former U.S. District Judge for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida and as U.S. Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals  for the 11th Circuit, gives me motivation to continue to learn learn history including social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, 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.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in the judicial system. I’m very proud on how you worked hard to support civil rights, push with support criminal justice reform,  protect civil liberties, and many others. You have inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn more about your work, and continue to learn different subjects. I was wondering if you could share with me your experience in the judicial system and how you got inspired to be in the career, and what it is like serving in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me.   Please continue to advocate for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
