I have learned, because of the proliferation of political "stuff" that comes
to my e-mail, that I can copy and paste the first line of the letter or
article into a Google search, and it usually shows all of the sources where
it appears on the internet.
I did that with this one and found MANY references. The first .pdf file that
I opened showed Robert Brault as the author, but you may want to do a search
and check out the other references as well.
BTW, I have been able to debunk many letters-to-the-editor in newspapers (I
read many) as just copy & paste from political sites instead of being
original.
