No, our representatives get paid to REPRESENT our stances. In MOST cases, representatives should vote the way their constituents tell them to. Unless there is something completely hidden from public record (which there shouldn't be) and they need to vote against the peoples' will because of the knowledge of that, they need to listen to us. If they do vote against our intentions, yeah, they BETTER have a good explanation.
Considering how many Americans are against the ObamaCare plan, we can see that a lot of Senators ignored the public's will when it passes in the Senate.
Massachusetts was a backlash and not-so-friendly reminder that they are employed BY US to do what WE tell them to.
