Thanks for your interest in this post and work.

What's the best one you know of?

There's no "catch-all" one. You've got to look through these secondary sources (you can get the full eBook at Lulu.com in the Notes section at the end. Use some of those as a starting point. Then, you can further continue your research to find the actual/applicable laws (national, state, or municipal) using other law resources (e.g., Stanford Law, etc.).

Same here ;)..."2 - Talk with every person you know and trust ...

This one is indeed tricky because so many people have been compromised (i.e., are bribed, coerced, brownstoned (i.e., blackmailed), or the like and go against their own oaths and the law). This is pervasive at the national and state level, but a bit less at the municipal level. So, it is hard to assess those county level officials; but you can talk to many townspeople and get an initial feel for them.

Remember, if any real change is to happen (for the good), it HAS to happen from the ground up (not top-down). Study the early days of the formation American republic at the end of the 13 colonies period; you will see how a lot of fine patriots went about this...

Hope this helps.
