The purpose of this research is to gain a better understanding of the impact of e-petitioning as a collective mobilized action taken to express policy preferences and the way that signing behavior takes place. Previous studies have analyzed e-petition signature data to track and understand the relationship between signing activity, time, and success of a petition (Hale et al., 2013; Yasseri et al., 2014). By using data mining techniques, namely market basket analysis and social network analysis, this research will explore three case studies that consist of three sets of similar petitions that were initiated on the US e-petitioning platform, We the People (WtP), to determine if there is evidence of mobilized collective action through individuals signing more than one petition on a particular policy issue. Case Study #1 examines a set of 132 petitions related to the topic of White Genocide. Case Study #2 considers a set of 56 petitions related to the policy issues surrounding legalizing Marijuana in the US. Finally, Case Study #3 analyzes a set of 31 petitions related to police brutality issues in the US. The goals of this research are: 1) to determine if there is evidence of collective action using the WtP platform; 2) to investigate the possibility of communities forming around particular policy issues; 3) to see if there is evidence of consistent behavior across petitions within a specific policy issue by looking at e-petition activists (individuals who signed and tweeted the e-petition information to their social networks); 4) to explore the influence of e-petition activists with high centrality values; and 5) to gain a better understanding of groups of e-petition activists within the network by examining the individuals in these communities and finding characteristics that make them similar.
