I wanted to take a minute to thank you for your efforts in getting the Let’s Move! initiative off to such a strong start. By joining our movement, you decided that you weren’t going to sit by and watch this happen – but you were going to act.

This couldn’t have come at a more critical time. As you know, for the first time in our history, American children may face a shorter expected lifespan than their parents.

We’ve got a lot of work to do! That’s why the President asked me to chair a new interagency Childhood Obesity Task Force. The task force is developing an action plan for how federal, state, and local governments, along with the private and nonprofit sectors, can come together and take specific steps to achieve this goal.

We want the best ideas from across the country – not just from researchers, but from parents and teachers and everyone with a stake in our children’s future.

We want to hear from you.

So we’ve set up a way for you to send in your thoughts. You don’t have to answer all of the questions; whatever ideas you have, big or small, are welcome. The deadline for replying is

March

26.

We need as many hands on deck as possible to meet the challenge before us, so we hope you join us by sending in your ideas and getting involved in Let’s Move in your own community.

Again, thank you for your commitment to fighting childhood obesity. Now let’s get moving!

Sincerely,

Melody Barnes

White House Director of the Domestic Policy Council
