*What the President Said in Michigan Yesterday [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2014/04/03/giving-america-raise-president-obama-delivers-remarks-about-raising-minimum-wage?utm_source=snapshot&utm_medium=email&utm_content=040314-topper ]*

Yesterday, President Obama traveled to the University of Michigan -- where he highlighted a local deli that rewards hard work with decent wages, and spoke in Ann Arbor on the importance of raising the national minimum wage:

Nobody who works full-time should be raising their family in poverty, right? If you're working, if you're responsible, you should be able to pay the rent, pay the bills. But... all across the country, you can work full-time on the minimum wage and still be in poverty.
