This is essential: a democracy *must* know who is paying its politicians and where that money is coming from.

Bob Weir was the youngest member of the Grateful Dead when the band was formed in 1965. His mother made frontman Jerry Garcia and the other band members ensure that her 17-year-old son got home safely every night and was back at school the next day. #BobWeir RIP #GratefulDead
