The four libraries

Problem laws — what is doing the damage

Enacted law, in force, that the movement holds responsible for taking representative democracy apart. Each carries a badness rating, its root causes, and its sources.

This library is the input to the Monkey Award, which is why admission is deliberately hard: every law added changes what the movement publishes about hundreds of named living people at once.

Problem Laws

Fixing the law — how a complaint becomes legislation

Not a library of records but the process: problem → root causes → drafted sections → a coverage matrix showing which causes a draft closes and which it visibly does not.

This is Pillar 2, and it is the answer to "fine, what would you do instead?"

Fixing the law

Fix bills — what we would file

Language the movement wrote that nobody has filed. Real sections, real definitions, real enforcement, with the root causes each section closes and the ones it leaves open.

The library's worked example is a four-bill disclosure package, each bill enforceable on its own and only closing the whole argument together — because different institutions refuse differently and one statute drafted against both refusals would have to be vague about each.

Fix Bills

Good laws — what somebody actually tried

Instruments that would repair democracy, recorded whatever happened to them: passed, voted down, or never allowed a vote. Admission is by eight structural tests — repeal, restore, transparency, accountability, franchise, due process, speech, purse.

This library is the input to the Llama Award.

Good Laws

Reading across all four

The libraries are most useful together. Start at a problem, follow its root causes to the fix bills that claim to close them, check the coverage matrix for what nobody has closed, then look at the good laws somebody already filed against the same problem and what happened to them.

That path — problem to remedy to what was actually attempted — is the whole argument the movement makes, and it is walkable in about five clicks.
