manifesto meta planning

An argument about the use and meaning of manifestos in the 21st century erupted in [[http://futuremajority.com/node/324|the comments of this post]] and in light of suggestions that any manifesto will need to be collaboratively authored, this page was started in an effort to begin tossing around some ideas. Maybe this’ll just be a sounding board, or maybe this’ll turn into something resembling a traditional manifesto—which [[http://futuremajority.com/node/324#comment-506|josh koenig helpfully articulated as]] “a statement of principle and intent.”

So what are the operative principles and intents of this movement? Or to be a little more humble about it, what are the operative principles and intents of the people who gather at Future Majority? Hash it out in the comments.

UPDATE: Let’s start a running list of what’s coming up in the comments
