Does congress (and other elected representatives) really represent their countrymen or foreigners?

Question

Why do Americans protest when they know it's not going to make a difference? Example: recently in Washington, tens of thousands of people protested the troop increase in the war in Iraq. Polls show that most people want withdrawal out of Iraq. Congress wouldn't do ****!
Another example: When foreign companies seek interest in profitting from US roads, and the majority of Americans are against these foreigners owning or leasing their roads, elected officials ignore these protests.

When Americans protest, elected officials don't care.

However, do you remember when illegal immigrants protested? Congress gave them amnesty and issued guest-worker programs at the expense of America. Ha! Say it ain't so!
