Submitting questions 1-6 to Professor Reiss (spr-at-cs.brown.edu) will get you a text file of tweets that match the regular expression you specify.  Some tips:

(a) Write 'CS0931 Twitter Regular Expression Request' in the subject header.

(b) In general, try to match as many things related to your project as possible.  Remember that the syntax to match 'debate' OR 'election' is '(debate|election)'.

(c) Your regular expression may match LOTS of things.  Start with only a portion of the file for your program.

(d) You may also specify that you want to filter on other columns (i.e. all retweets, all tweets for a particular day, etc).
