Representatives
Their job, and continued employment in a lucrative trade, depends on how well they appear to look after the best interests of their constituency.
If they, in rightous zeal, relay 'the voice of the people' as they interpet it, that constituency could well find itself last in line for Highway, Education, Enforcement, etc., grants from D.C.
That isn't a good career move, so they smooch the peanut.
