They don’t want to face their contituents because they aren’t very popular right now and they aren’t use to that.

“I’ve said this several times but let me see if I can make it a little more clear,” Ross said. “I don’t represent Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi or President Obama or (House Finance Committee Chairman) Barney Frank. I represent the people of Arkansas and I’m not voting for any bill that forces any one plan on anyone, period.”
Many audience members cheered loudly when Ross said he wouldn’t back anything that would provide federal funding for abortions or pay for health insurance for illegal immigrants.
But some were skeptical about the intentions of President Obama and Democrats in Congress.
Colleen Shoemaker of Bauxite apologized to the congressmen for being “out of line” and heckling them during the forum. She said the government was taking away Americans’ rights.
“At this point in my life I have never seen my America turn into what it has turned into,” she said. “And I don’t think that representatives and senators are going to be able to (pass a plan that preserves personal freedom). I’m scared.”
Though much of the crowd opposed Obama’s plan, there were a few supporters.
“I’m a huge Obama fan,” college student Jacob Kauffman told the crowd, which responded with a smattering of applause and a few chants of “Get a job.”
Kauffman continued, “I was at mad at (Ross and Snyder) for not standing up for stronger health care reform. But after seeing this crowd tonight, I’m pleased with seeing what you have done. I’ve rather have you two overlook my health care plan than any private insurance bureaucrat any day.”

Poor schmuck doesn't understand that he'll NEVER have the chance to overlook HIS OWN HEALTHCARE.
