Join us: my.barackobama.com Dr. E. Faye Williams shares why she's definitely in for 2012: "I've been very excited about this president since I first heard him at the Democratic Convention. President Obama: 'I believe that we have a righteous wind at our backs. And that as we stand on the crossroads of history we can make the right choice and meet the challenges that face us.' And I knew then that he was the person who would bring this country together and would be an inspiration to so many of our people. Not just African Americans, but all people. We're blessed to have a president who is working to make thinks better and make opportunities greater. Despite the fact that he inherited so many challenges, he has not used that as a crutch. He has continued to try to work with the Congress. He's tried to continue to be with the people to inspire them to keep their hope up. He went a long way, but he'd be the first to say there's a long way to go. So I plan to do everything I can. I will make calls, I will go and register people, I will do everything in my power to make certain that we return President Barack Obama to office for four more years. So yes--I'm definitely in for 2012."
