For the Second time in as a many days, I've received phone text msgs from Trump Campaign. I figure they must have acquired my number from the DNC, or Biden Campaign or related/connected data base.
Legal question: Isn't this illegal? And if so, what do I need to know or do to seek remedy?
Do/Should I report to the FEC? Is part of their regulatory responsibilities to monitor and handle this type of thing?
If not: How do I make them cease and desist?
Do I report to the DNC?
I don't know what to do.

Asking questions, wondering about facts, anything that I could think of to delay their work for the RW assholes and delay fundraising as well.
IMO, I don't think there is a violation of any kind...so I don't see a reason to report it. Just screw with them and take their time!

(7,281 posts)If I get a call, believe me I'll have some fun. I'll do a "This is Leonard, How can i help you" routine. and have fun with it. but this is different. These are those text msgs from different prefixes so blocking is almost a waste of time.
It's the sort of campaign messaging we've been reading about: "Pay up now or else you'll be forever a traitor" kind of thing.
You know I've seen some pretty aggressive fund raising texts from our campaign teams which I'd rather not see, I hate those but I really take offense they have my number in the first place. I'd like to know how they harvested it. Did they hack the DNC data base?
thanks..

Could they have your cell number just because they are doing robo call texts?

(7,281 posts)this is only a computerized text msg program. there's no one on the other end of this thing.
It should be illegal.
