It has to go way beyond that. After you vote them in, we (ALL) have to hold their feet to the fire. Remind them that compromising with bad policy is like adding just a little sewage to your drinking water, and insist that they run roughshod over the opposition.

How, exactly, do we do that?
There are multiple court rulings that declare that a Senator cannot be recalled, fired, or otherwise punished.

Moreover, with laws like ObamaCare setting precedent of excluding themselves from the law they are codifying an actual class-system WRT citizenship. Congressmen are of a higher class than we, illegal immigrants (due to how many laws they flout with wink-and-nod from the authorities) are also a higher class than we, Law Enforcement with their many immunities for prosecution are a higher class than we, Bureaucrats with their non-accountability (e.g. Lois Learner) are also a higher class than we.

So, how do you propose that we, the lowest class, hold the highest class's feet to the fire?
I propose that anything that would be at all effective would get the LEOs and/or Bureaucrats sicced on you.
