Donated to the Bailey campaign in Illinois through WinRed …. HUGE mistake … so many “add ons” before you can just donate fifty bucks to the campaign AND the deluge of solicitation texts that follow are SUPER annoying.

Yes, Jeff usually provides an alternative and I am prone to write a paper check and snail mail it. But one multiplier morning I was in a hurry and just hit the button and donated online via WinRed. My email and phone was inundated within a week. Unsubscribe and 'block number' were my 2 pastimes for weeks. I still get random texts from random politcos not even in MO, and sure it is a result of WinRed.

Ditto. Unfortunately WinRed is the payment processor for many GOP campaigns, and there is no alternative.

Me too.

I’m still blocking and deleting several a day. “Stop” does not do any good. They keep coming. Even Steve Garvey texts me.

I’ve just started a log to try and figure out if STOP or ‘Report As Junk’ truly doesn’t work, or if these campaigns have a ton of phone numbers they can use and if one gets blocked, they just move on to another.

I am having the same issues. I report one as junk and the same text comes from a different number. I reply “Stop and maybe 50% of the time I get a response saying I was unsubscribed. Recently I have been getting 8-10 political texts a day.

I delete all day long. They will just use a new number to text you.

Right? But at least I am in Kalifornistan. I take it you’re NOT. Sorry…but after seeing the attack ads from his Dhimmicrat opponent, where they say “Steve Garvey was just too conservative for California “…that was music to my ears! I just might donate after all!! 🙄
