    I think it was for her Senate campaign. Then I saw what she was like as a Senator. Once more I swore, never again.

    I threw Fetterman a bone a couple years ago. Never again. I'll vote for the guy who promises to end the text spam. You hear that NSA?

    I registered Republican to troll California primaries, now Fredo and other no name is spamming me non-stop on a first name basis.

    I think there was movement to ban this but the spammers sued on grounds of political speech.

    Yep they’ve been coming in thick the last few days. Since I voted and donated to Republicans before I’ve been getting some RNc ones too and even though I never voted for him I get RFK jr ones too.

    I hate the spam texts with a passion. Unsubscribe from one and three news ones take its place.

    I just received this text

    Two things:

    1) THANK YOU for always being a steadfast Conservative. I know it isn't easy sometimes, but I truly appreciate your support.

    2) Could you do me a huge favor and complete the Voter Verification before it closes permanently in the next 30 minutes? Your participation will go a long way toward mine and other conservative victories in 2024.

    Here is the link: gopway1.com/3JVB1T

    Thank you,
    Ted Cruz

    STOPtoEND

    Man, how tf do they have my number?!?

    This seems like jury duty: if you're too dumb to avoid this, how can you avoid that?

    Never once had an issue with this. I have been on a Grand Jury once. It was about 4 weeks of ****ed up.

    The Dems are really doing this wrong. I mean... if your org incentivizes people to hate you and to never ever consider giving a $ to any related cause again... you are ****ing the hell up. LOL.

    My phone filters all that crap out. I can navigate to the spam text folder and read them if I want, but I get no notification and it doesn't show in my list of text threads. Granted it will occasionally also weed out legit texts and phone calls. But it's a small price to pay to block the spam. @Reeko, maybe you just need a Pixel.
