Whatever Happened To The Public's RIGHT-TO-KNOW?

Like most things, "If you don't use it, you lose it".
You do have certain rights guaranteed in a democracy that are written into The Constitution whether you know it or not . . It's up to you TO EXERCISE those rights.
The first step is getting the information > it takes some work on your part and it's your choice to find out what you need-to-know.
Otherwise we are all left-out in the dark.
