Another term important in discussing politics, and particularly Congress, is "grassroots".  The grassroots are ordinary citizens who volunteer their time to participate in politics, by speaking out, by emailing others, by attending political events, by putting bumper stickers on their cars or signs along the roads, by making phone calls urging others to vote, and expressing their views to public officials on important issues.
