It's the way the system works.  I understand you don't like it.  But if you
really want to make it so that the people elected from your district don't
represent you, move or renounce your citizenship.  Much as I hated to admit
it, Slick Willy represented me to the world for 8 years.  Now, it's Bush.  I
happen to prefer the current state of affairs but I understand the emotions
of those who disagree.

You may disagree with the policies, but the guy deciding on them, by
definition, represents you and everyone else.  We have elections to
determine who will represent since only one person can represent us in each
position.  You don't have to like the results of the arrangement, but that
doesn't give you license to change the definitions of words.
