So your plan if Congress doesn't pass your legislation is no plan?

Saying you'll just stonewall until you get your way is not a plan. It's a wish. It makes it very hard to take you seriously. Just because people elect you doesn't mean they have literally zero other concerns, and shutting down the government until that one thing happens isn't going to work.

It's not even "special interests". There are a host of issues people want dealt with. Lessig seems to be saying that if he wins everyone will be so focused on this one issue that they won't care if nothing else ever gets done.

This is not how people or the government works. Government shutdowns don't get results.
