Hyde Park Declaration of "Third Way" centrism? [View all]

Is this a real document that existed or is this urban legend?


This page at "On The Issues" talks about a document from 2000 called Hyde Park Declaration.

It cites a source it calls a manifesto, "A New Politics for a New America":

Report: the manifesto, "A New Politics for a New America":
Source: The Hyde Park Declaration

http://www.ontheissues.org/Notebook/Note_00-DLC0.htm

It gives this link to the source but nothing is there:

But searching turns up an old thread on DU!:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x1098709

So apparently when those DUers were looking at it on Sun Feb-08-04 they were looking at a functioning link.

It's also mentioned in the book Servants of Wealth: The Right's Assault on Economic Justice.

As seen on Google Books:

https://books.google.com/books?id=YtUpBtSxe2gC&pg=PA191&dq=%22A+New+Politics+for+a+New+America%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAGoVChMIkZ-Cz8PxxgIVwaqACh316g-E#v=onepage&q=%22A%20New%20Politics%20for%20a%20New%20America%22&f=false


EDIT to add: apparently ndol was "New Democrats On Line" ?

I'm just trying to see if it's real.
