(10,511 posts)How many text messages do you get for donations from a (D) candidate after (D) candidate?
Or (D) organization after (D) organization?
I find that the phone number attached to that text is not the only phone number associated with the Candidate or Organization.
Most text messages have a STOP or Stop2End reply to stop getting these donation requests.
When I send a STOP or Stop2End, I'll usually immediately received a response text, that states I've been removed from the list.
Unfortunately that 2nd text phone number does not match the original text phone number.
So eventually, you WILL get another request for donations from the same exact Candidate or Organization that you requested them to STOP sending you donation requests.
Why would you get another donations request from the same Candidate or Organization if you've already requested them to STOP?
Because there are 49 phone numbers associated with all Candidates & Organization.
You're reading that right, 49 phone numbers.
What does that mean?
It means that when you send the initial STOP/Stop2End message, the Reply you receive to confirm your phone number is removed, will also need a STOP/Stop2End message to that number, and on & on & on ... 49 times.
The message I receive that shows a STOP/Stop2End message already sent, means I've reached all 49 phone numbers.
Then I have to delete them all the text messages from my Text program.
I've had to do this multiple times a day. If I don't do it, I'll continue to receive donation requests and if I don't delete them, when I decide to delete them, I'll have to do to a whole bunch of Candidates/Organizations on 1 day, that would consume a lot of time.
Have fun Stopping and deleting all those phone numbers.
