By "legislators" do you mean members of government? You linked to a California proposition, which any citizen can create:
"In a special election held on October 10, 1911, California became the 10th state to adopt the
initiative process. That year, Governor Hiram Johnson began his term by promising to give
citizens a tool they could use to adopt laws and constitutional amendments without the support
of the Governor or the Legislature. The new Legislature put a package of constitutional
amendments on the ballot that placed more control of California politics directly into the hands of
the people. This package included the ability to recall elected officials, the right to repeal laws by
referendum, and the ability to enact state laws by initiative."[0]
