An adorable "focus group"

Let's Move! -- First Lady Michelle Obama's initiative to end childhood obesity within a generation -- just turned 4.

We're celebrating all week, and we want you to join us.

The First Lady wants you to share how you're moving by using the hashtag #LetsMove on social media to share a photo of your favorite activity or healthy snack. If enough people get involved, President Obama and Vice President Biden will share how they get moving, too.

To kick off this anniversary week, First Lady Michelle Obama and comedian Will Ferrell held a "focus group" with young kids to talk about how they eat healthy and get active.
Frankly, it was adorable. And there's more great stuff coming all this week.

Watch the video -- then make sure you're signed up for Let's Move! updates.

Watch: First Lady Michelle Obama and Will Ferrell

What $10.10 would mean for you

What $10.10 would mean for you

President Obama is calling on Congress to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10.  And the President has taken the first step by signing an Executive Order raising the minimum wage for federal contractors.

Raising the federal minimum wage will give millions of Americans a raise, and it's long overdue -- because no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty.

Last week, we asked what raising the minimum wage meant to you.  The stories you shared are a strong argument for exactly how important it is that we get this done.

Raising the minimum wage helps Americans young and old. It helps provide relief for those who are just scraping by, and it helps those saving for a rainy day. It's the right thing to do, but don't take our word for it.

Read these stories from folks like you -- then forward them on, and submit your own.

What I signed today

President Barack Obama president@messages.whitehouse.gov via service.govdelivery.com 
to me


Hello everyone,

Earlier today, I signed an Executive Order to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 for federal contract workers.

It's the right thing to do. But what's more, companies have found that when their employees earn more, they're more motivated, they work harder, and they stick around longer. You should expect the same of your federal government.

The bottom line is this: We are a nation that believes in rewarding honest work with honest wages. And America deserves a raise.

If you agree, let me know you're standing with me -- and take a look at what else we're going to do in 2014.

The order I signed today will help folks across the country. But it's not enough.

Right now, there's a bill in Congress that would raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour for all Americans. It would lift wages for more than 28 million current workers, and would move millions of Americans out of poverty. That means businesses would have customers with more money to spend.

Raising the minimum wage would grow the economy for everyone.

You don't need to believe me: Believe the 600 economists -- including seven Nobel Prize winners -- who wrote both houses of Congress last month to remind them that the bill before them will have little or no negative effect on jobs.

When I stood before both chambers of Congress and said that I intended for 2014 to be a year of action, that wasn't just a nice line in a speech. It was an acknowledgment that we've got to restore opportunity for everyone in America -- the idea that no matter who you are, or how you started out, you can get ahead here if you're responsible and willing to work for it. That's what this "year of action" is all about.

And since that speech, I have taken actions on my own to make it easier for folks to save for retirement, help working Americans get the skills that good jobs demand, and assist millions of Americans who have been looking for work for several months. I've announced a major new commitment toward connecting our schools to 21st-century technology.

That action continues today, and in the months to come.

Take a look at what we've done already and what's to come.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama
