>Otherwise don’t go.

If you're called to testify by a Congressional committee, and you don't show up, federal marshalls find you and drag you to the committee room or you get charged with contempt of congress.

That's only if you're subpoenaed. People are often invited to testify voluntarily, and they're free to decline in that case.
