People have been trying to take on the local governments for a very long time... its not working. Even the local governments have become so corrupt with career politicians, or ones that want to be, that they will stop at nothing to maintain the control and power they have over "their" people. You may not want to hear this but I have seen the local city governments use coercion, threats, character defamation, violent force, covert weaponry and overt weaponry attacks to maintain the status quo and keep people from standing up to them. And if none of that works they spin every lie they can and people believe it. Even when you tell the average person what they are doing or how they are doing it, they don't want to believe it. If they do believe it they are not willing to do anything about it.
I know it may be difficult to realize but only when people are faced with a radical change in their life are they willing to do anything about it. Although I don't advocate anyone getting violent or wish that violence be brought upon anyone, they may end up putting themselves in that position for remaining so passively submissive. But I like how the declaration put it, "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."
