In February 2009, a Minuteman message board operated by the right-wing website Renew America published what it called a Letter from a Law Student proposing a model dissolution agreement between — as it said — American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, Obama supporters and the rest of the country. The agreement was also partially reposted at the Patriot Action Network, dated 30 November 1999 (which, of course, predates President Barack Obama's election by nine years). There is also a version posted on Scribd calling Wall's proposal a separation proposal letter. A month after its 2009 appearance, conservative radio host Neal Boortz featured Wall's letter on his web site, but the end of the op-ed was changed to: You can also have Barbara Streisand and Jane Fonda. The letter has also generated attention from liberal websites: In June 2009, Democratic Underground featured it in a thread, calling it a piece of shit. A year later, liberal blogger Rich Merritt posted what he called a Patriotic Rebuttal to the piece, which reads in part: In 2011, the letter reappeared, this time with even more added to the P.S. section: In the years since, the op-ed has been circulated via message boards, e-mail, and in other nooks and crannies on the Internet (it surfaced on Reddit in June 2013), but no version of the piece has never been definitively tied to a law student named John J. Wall — or any other identifiable person.
