Manifesto

A Manifesto is a public declaration of principles and intentions, usually in a political nature, but can also be written based upon religious beliefs, referred to as credo meaning a statement of beliefs, or in a life-stance style. This means it is written as one person views a subject to be of upmost importance.
The writing of a manifesto is in the style of almost shouting at the reader, DEMANDING the points your putting across, it is intended to be written in a way that must be read, and must be dealt with. Your demands MUST be met.
Here is an example, manifesto I have written, although there is really only one thing I feel strongly enough about to feel the need to write a manifesto for and that is skateboarding. This is because this is a personal and for years I have been the victim of trouble due to skateboarding, for no other reason that people not understanding it. So here are 10 points that I feel strongly about:

  1. Every Skateboarder should be left alone, FREE to explore new boundaries and express themselves without interruption
  2. All Skateboarders should be entitle of FREE opportunities to push the creativeness of the sport and of their mind
  3. Every Skateboarder should have the FREE choice of exercise they wish to embark on
  4. Every Skateboarder should not have to deal with police as if they are a criminal, they are NOT and we will never stop
  5. Skateboarding should NEVER been seen as wrong, vandalising, or damaging
  6. Skateboarding is a form of ART and should not been seen as any less
  7. Skateboarders have been moved on for TOO long and this must not continue to happen any longer
  8. Skateboarding for young and old, male and female has been LOVED by thousands for many years, it is time for it to be recognised it is here to stay
  9. Skateboarding WILL stay, get used to it and understand its many benefits to many people
  10. Skateboarding is NOT a crime
