Hello.
I've been thinking, which is dangerous in my case, that is about time that we are united under flag and creed to show the world how and who we really are. What is important about you that the world needs to know?. It will be OUR Manifesto. Not mine. Redacted by those who know how to write. Please, send your ideas and input. Thank you.

That I need money. I can set up a paypal address to make it easy for people to donate. How much coverage and exposure is this going to get?

The sky is the limit. As far as we can push it. I've never been more serious in my life.
We can create something that will last for generations to come. Never thought about money. Which is, of course, necessary. You have been Oficially Appointed as The Minister of Fiduciary and Finances. Get to work.

I crack under pressure, but I will give it a shot. I will try not to let you down.
First order of business is fund raising. Does anyone here have any special skills which could earn us some quick cash? We need to get the word out so I need funds to travel the world, and vacation. I mean, spread the word of our cause and bring equal rights to our people. |

If I were to study some others as models, what would you recommend?

I have a good start, but don't want to type it all on my phone. I'll have something for us this afternoon (California time).

Three parts.
1. The bipolar community boasts unity in a diverse experience. Just as each of us is a individual, so the illness presents itself through unique manifestations. Severity and duration of symptoms vary from person to person. In light of this, we remain individuals in this group united.

Let me add that my uncle, a doctor, traveled the whole world with the Red Cross.
Fishing with Hemingway for relaxation in between. Mother says the day I was born, he was fishing, with Hemingway. And came rushing in with a terrible fish smell only subdued by his rum breath. If my uncle, a drunkard, could travel the world on someone else's nickel, I'm sure you can too. Motivated so far?.

To bring it all together:
1. The bipolar community boasts unity in a diverse experience. Just as each of us is a individual, so the illness presents itself through unique manifestations. Severity and duration of symptoms vary from person to person, in light of this, we remain individuals in this group united. 2. The bipolar community dedicates itself to treatment plans and coping strategies which include, but are not limited to: medications; cognitive and behavioral therapies; ECT; and vigilance in the face of episodic symptoms. Such symptoms may take form as depression, mania, hypomania, and various nuanced behavioral patterns. 3. The bipolar community places hope in a healthy, stable future for all who are thus afflicted, resulting in the end of prejudice and stigma in the eyes of society.

In my estimation, "the bipolar community" heading the three sections is repetitive.
Take your time to unvertigo the vertigo. The message is all there. That's what counts. However, is a little entangled. I defineatly like it. But needs to flow for the average Joe. Maybe someone else can also provide some input. Many eyes see better than four.

By the way, there's a facebook page, and a blog, titled The Bipolar Manifesto. I think run by the same guy, a type II BP.

It's a blog, but it looks like he's published some eBooks about BP. I didn't spend time looking at his titles.
Then on Amazon I found this: https://www.amazon.com/Bipolar-Manif.../dp/146694076X

I'm thinking maybe we can change it to Declaration if Manifesto is taken.
The title is always the attraction, as you know, pass that is the substance that counts.

IDEA: What if we created The Bipolar Papers, discussing various aspects of bipolar life in short, one page articles using a standard format similar to academic papers but using everyday terms for the section titles?
The Nutshell gives a very brief overview of what the topic is and what the whole paper says. The Meat provides specific examples, statistical data, whatever we use to flesh out the topic. The Takeaway concludes with general applications of the specifics in terms of society.

You need a Mission Statement and purpose of your non-profit organization. Then you need by-laws. Appoint a Board of Directors.

The bipolar Papers sounds better than anything so far. In reality we have nothing to declare, or protest for that matter.
I like the way you write, because you really Write. I have to make an observation you may not be aware of. English is not my maternal languaje. I did not even study in English. So my contributions will be mainly those of a reader more than anything else. We have poets, writers, and teachers amongst us, that can better contribute to the document than myself. How to motivate them to do so?. That is the question.

If you'd rather write an article or book, I'll help, too.
