http://voices.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2009/04/obama_meets_privately_with_the.html Garcia always insisted the band not take a political alignment. 2nd-ly Garcia would probably align with the libertarian side of things not the progressiveist/liberal side of things. Very disappointed in the boys. Right now the USA is treading on a fascist type of government similar to policies that Mussolini/Hitler/Facist Spain had (No killing lots of people is not a product of Facism before you think thats what Im getting into, every one does that.) Individual freedom is what Garcia wanted for all, not the government running our lives and giving our money away to banks, corperations and political affiliated groups. Its just to bad we cant hook a turbine up to him and power an entire city with the electricity he would generate.
