10. If she is not responsive to her constituents, she can be recalled
I don't know what the recall law is in California, but a few years ago there didn't seem to be any problem with their recalling their governor.
And you are right -- your elected representatives should be afraid of you. They should be doing whatever they can to serve you. You are their boss!
