I interrupt all of this excitement with a plea for help!
..... with a friend's son's college research paper.

He called asking for Barack Obama's platform ....... everything I can find on the site is pages and pages and pages long, I love the guy, but that's WAY too much ink. lol ...... I dont know what kind of internet access the son will have or I'd just give him the URL and tell him to look it up.

Does anyone know of a CONCISE listing of either Barack's or the DNC party platforms that I can get for them?

thanks in advance

7. Not really.
I doubt any college faculty member worth anything will take Wikipedia as a trustworthy source.

He should DEFINITELY not cite Wiki in footnotes.

4. Part of the excercise is taking the pages and pages of information and getting it into a paper.
Send them the link.
