I think the only response that's valid and noticed is "CANCEL" or "STOP" ... your message was likely discarded and ignored, never to be seen or read by humans.

If you check the reason "Other", you get a chance to type a real reply.
I unloaded, of course.

Short version:
ACT FIRST, and then I send money.
The silence of democratic leaders is an abomination. While the country is being destroyed.
No action. No money.
Do it or democracy goes away and the entire Democratic party staff has to get jobs as WalMart greeters.
This is our "Stop Fascism" moment.
Do it now. Halt the nazi party, Putin and the gazpacho police or the country is lost to a fascist coup.
No more Jeffries and Schumer "business as usual". Do or we all die.

(8,818 posts)5. So many of the texts I get asking for money are bogus.
Just because it has Bernie's or Obama's or, yesterday, Stacey Abrams' name on it doesn't mean it's from them or from a legitimate organization.
When I check the organization via Duck-Duck-Go, they usually have a very low confidence score.
