I am still getting inundated with democratic political texts -- each one has "Stop2End" but it seems like they

have a hundred different donor departments… anyone know how I can be removed once and for all?

I only got about 4 or 5 texts and made sure my number was still on the do not call registry.

slowly become less frequent. I still get only one from Robert Reich but I stopped that. But now AOC is emailing me 😹 They were still calling my father for a long time after he died and still texted him before the election too, but the texts have stopped now for the time being.

4. I think I got 4 yesterday -- I've stopped texting back "Stop2End" and started blocking the number and deleting the text.

It's just ridiculous, they must have a gazillion telephone numbers...it was rare I got more than 1 text from the same number. I actually. think responding to end them, increased them instead.

But some others can pop up, although I really don’t have anybody texting me anymore at the moment… maybe one I think but it was for my brother lol. I forgot where that was from.

Just block them then. If it works.

That I will be dead and buried for a decade, and they will still be sending my # texts.

It's like playing whack -a-mole.

They just keep selling my info. I will never donate to the D party again because of this.

It was so bad at one point I was getting over 100 emails month.

It’s like they want to sabotage future fund raising efforts.

Several continue to request donations in order to flip the house…what??
