There are also several functions for analyzing and visualizing the data. Term frequency calculations and word clouds are supported using the tm and wordcloud package, respectively. Petition and issue summary plots are also implemented using the ggplot2 package. For additional information about the We The People project, see https://petitions.whitehouse.gov.
