Then go for a referendum. Grassroots organizations have pushed stuff past recalcitrant politicians for ages.

Good idea, except that nowadays an activist judge can throw out all your good work.
As I said, anarchy has drawbacks, but it also has some good points. Hitler ruled over Germany very lawfully, but think how much better the world might have been if some anarchist had ventilated him back in 1935. Indeed, a group of his General Officers attempted an anarchistic act when they set off a biomb under his planning table. They were unsuccessful but their hearts were in the right place.
