You overlook one small thing - America isn't a democracy its a republic.
In case you are confused the best definitions of the words are here -
please read before launching into me...

One thing that has struck me about this Hummer/GL debate is that if
these vehicles are unsafe for the road [reason for not reselling them to
the public] why are they being issued to the US Army? Does the US Army
not operate some sort of health & safety standard?
It strikes me that you should not be complaining to your congressman but
to the Ralph Nader types - a ruthless investigation by them should see
either a rapid retraction of the 'safety' issue or the release of
thousands of hummers on the grounds that they are unsafe for use by the
US Army.
