we are in receipt of your request. In order to proceed, we'll need to know which names or offices (Census, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Youtube, Congress, etc.) are involved in the search as well as provide a timeframe for the search. We don't have the capability to do a blanket search, so if you can narrow your scope that will help us perform a search.
