USA.gov

http://www.usa.gov is known as the "United States Official Web Portal." If you are looking for government information and have no clue where to find it, this is the best place to start.

The website is organized by category so you can browse for what you are looking for. If you can't find what you are looking for, they have their own search engine.

They also have great tutorials, one of which covers an overview of the website. Kick back, relax, turn up the volume, and watch this tutorial to learn more about what you can find at USA.gov.
