It doesn't matter if I text stop. It doesn't matter who promises to get me off the list. The spam just keeps coming.

I've blocked, reported and saved 192 phone numbers since Sep of 2024. Apparently I gave too much? Gave outside my district? I don't know but they keep coming no matter what I do.

I am literally considering forming a 527 so I can keep my privacy and still give. Until I get that setup I've stopped giving altogether.
