Michelle Obama Speaks at Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas

Michelle Obama spoke yesterday at Red Rock in Las Vegas. Here is an excerpt (transcript):

But more importantly and something that we focused on a lot, now that it’s summer time, is that we need to substantially increase the amount of physical activity that our kids are getting not just in school but outside of school, as well, and that's why I am very excited about the launch of this program, “Let’s Move Outside.” Very clever, right? “Let’s Move Outside” -- I love it. (Laughter.)

And it’s a collaborative effort with the Bureau of Land Management, with National Park Service, Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and others. And as you’ve heard, we just want to encourage kids to use the resources that are available to them. I mean, that's part of the point of this, is that activity doesn’t have to cost a thing.
