I know that my representitives from Amichigan have never responded to any atempts that I or my friends attempts to introduce legislation.
They supposedly represent me, right?
Should they not be legally obligated to do this?
should the be 'fired' for not doing their jobs?
should the vote their constituents voice even if it against their own conscience?

Hey , in Pennsylvania we fired some people who voted themsellves a big pay raise. It was done in the primary. The top republican senator went down in flames. It sent harsh notice that we still remember the Boston Tea Party and are offended by taxation withour representation.

Yes, they are your representatives, and under the Constitution, they serve you, and you are their boss. If you think they should be fired, it's up to you to do it! Find a campaign to get rid of them, or organize one, or volunteer for the campaign of the person running against them.

That said, a lot of what they can do depends on how you try to introduce the legislation, and how well written and researched it is. Consider that they are representing thousands if not millions of people, and at the end of the day they are only human and can't physically respond to everybody. (Although they should have staff to do that.)

you would think but the constituents vote for them based on what they say they stand for and if elected they pretty much do as they please
