Here's a protest idea that might be effective to some degree...
Given that our elected representatives seem to have forgotten who their employers are, we need to remind them. One way to do that is to civilly meet with them at their offices or impromptu events.
I think we should do just that and calmly present the case that they are failing their performance evals and they will need to be replaced for failure to perform the essential duties of their employment. Simple message followed by three issues they need to address to satisfy your purpose for the visit whether they tell you what you want to hear or not, state your concerns. That is the main activity one's intent should be focused on during each action... to have a few minutes to discuss your concerns with your employee who needs to know what you want from them.
And we should all try to do this, every day, everywhere, all at once sort of thing. Instead of standing in the street, line up. Seriously, wherever these people go, there should be a line of constituents standing calmly in a line on public walkways, waiting to have a moment with their employee. Every day, everywhere with signs imploring them to do their jobs as defined in the Constitution (like, remember that?).
This can be executed by having groups ready to show up at the office they will be at that day or whatever event. If it's public event go in, if it's a private event, wait outside, in a line. Line up outside the door in DC and at home, wherever they go, there's a line of employers waiting for them. There are enough of us to do it in shifts. The longer the line, the easier it is to get press.
They can't call you a mob or a riot if you are calmly standing in a line on the sidewalk or a corridor. They are our employees, public servants. It is time for the employer to lay down the line and line up demanding they listen up. Be civil but firm.
That's the raw idea. Feedback?

But outside their homes, on public right of way, they should be haunted by voters waiting to see them, one at a time.
