For years, I had no idea that we the people could actually see the documents signed by the U.S. President.
I thought we were pretty much at the mercy of the information we were being fed
via news outlets, social media, Google® searches and Saturday Night Live.
I was wrong.
So, just in case you’ve ever wondered if you’re getting
accurate information, I’m sharing this for your benefit. Now you can truly KNOW
what’s going on, without the spin.
I’m not saying perusing the Federal Regulations is the most
interesting reading. (Unless you’re
nerdy, like me.) And unlike a newscast, it won’t be sensational. You’ll get just what it is. No frills.
What you might not know: The Federal Register is the daily journal of the United States
government. The very first issue was published on Saturday, March 14, 1936. (Not online, of course.) It was signed the
day before by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Presidential documents are
printed first in the Federal Register with Rules, then Proposed Rules, and
Notices following, respectively. This order of items made Executive Order 7316
the first article to appear on the page. However, it was not the first article
submitted. (Can you find out what
Executive Order 7316 is? Hint: The relevant location is South Carolina.)
Oh, and the cool thing is….you can do a Public InspectionDocument search and see documents before
they are actually published in the Federal
Register. (Yep, you heard it here.)
But don’t take my word for it. Now you have a choice. To get
your information straight from the source or to continue wondering if what you’re
being told (i.e. fed) is true.
Check it out and see for yourself. https://www.federalregister.gov/
