18. Text reply: STOP

Jul 2024

Within hours of my first donation to Harris I begin receiving texts from her campaign asking me to donate.

These were coming in about every four to five hours.

After the fifth text I replied with the word STOP and now all texts from her campaign have ceased.

This doesn't prevent me from continuing to donate, so no harm done.
