Any suggestions to stop the constant text.Asking for money

[Tribetime]

It just keeps getting worse and worse.I block numbers, a text stop.And they just keep coming more and more , it's very annoying somebody ought to tell them to stop it I give when I can to who I want to, but this Constitute bombardment of asking for money is turning me off

1. My spam calls are getting worse and I

Am signed up to not get calls, my iPhone is suppose to catch some and I block every one I get but lately it’s horrible went from 2 a day to 10 or more a day. I know instantly because it’s the area code of my number from area where I lived 10 years ago so local calls are in different area code.

2. I agree that it is turning off donors and voters.

Just today, I got 3 texts from 3 different numbers asking for $ for a Florida politician. (I’m not in Florida). I’ve been replying stop/end, reporting it as spam, and deleting. I know political texts have more leeway than private business texts, but as I understand it, if you did not agree to receive the texts, they are not permitted unless they were individually written and sent to you, which none of these are.

4. I mark all such email as spam.

My email server dutifully sends it to the spam folder. I clear that every morning. Rinse and repeat.

I donate as I choose.

5. I immediately block and respond STOP to all text solicitations for anything.

I still get a few new ones a week. I don't bother even reading them. Like you, I have a set of places and things I contribute to and keep track of calls to action from select sources. I sign nothing, give nothing, and do not respond in any way to anything that comes via text, even if it is from a candidate or org I already support. Blocking everything without even reading seems to have cut down on the overall number.

8. Yes, I do the same thing.Now i'm getting more text than ever

[pat_k]

14. That seriously sucks.

9. I hear you

I think the constant begging backfires too, I donate less now than I used to.

I'm also sick of being asked to tip for seemingly normal transactions, WTF is up with that???

11. Maybe if some of the politicians work harder for us , instead of corporations

We wouldn't be in this spot
