With my previous finding of the type of individual using\u00a0my hashtag being a more active presence, it would make sense that they are interacting more with the action fund. \u00a0They are most likely trying to raise money for planned parenthood in hopes that it will aid in supporting it from being removed. \u00a0The second graph I found to be most essential when understanding the story that my data was telling was the text analysis graph. \u00a0This became informative due to the fact that it displayed the major words being used, displaying the overall conversation regarding my topic. \u00a0The most frequent words that were used in the corpus were\u00a0<a class=\"corpus-type keyword\" href=\"http:\/\/voyant-tools.org\/?corpus=ebc9e6b8d6d163eed757fc21c23de818#\">planned<\/a>\u00a0(1770);\u00a0<a class=\"corpus-type keyword\"

href=\"http:\/\/voyant-tools.org\/?corpus=ebc9e6b8d6d163eed757fc21c23de818#\">speakerryan<\/a>\u00a0(597). \u00a0I found it interesting to look further into speakerryan and found an article from CNN regarding the topic-\u00a0http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2017\/01\/05\/politics\/paul-ryan-planned-parenthood-obamacare\/ . \u00a0This article discusses how Paul Ryan announced that Republicans are moving to strip all of the federal funding for planned parenthood in order to begin their process to dismantle Obamacare. \u00a0This displayed how\u00a0my tweets revolved around taking a stance around\u00a0most recent acts to take away federal funding from planned parenthood, showing these users active engagement in the cause.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full
