Let's set aside the appelate issues, and focus on getting to the legislature.
In influencing a legislature, the language of the debate and any presentation to the legislature that a citizen, or a large group of citizens, make(s) must be presented in legaleeze. Absent that, it won't come to pass as law, or will easily get corrupted as it is translated into that language.
Plenty of folks besides lawyers can be pointed to for the necessary civic action needed to get the petitions signed and get items presented at the legislature, and for that matter to get as much media coverage as possible to influence the deal. Politicians respond to Newspaper stories.
But, you see, the language of law being such an arcane subject, beyond everything else, the action needs the attention of a lawyer, one who is expert in the language of law, which is the subject at hand.
