It’s been going on for months and no matter how many I mark as spam and block they keep coming back with new numbers!
Makes me wonder if someone signed me up for something

Digging into the FCC’s website reveals that robotexts are illegal without prior consent. However, if they hand enter the message, that’s legal.
That lines up with my experience the one time I kept getting annoying political texts. There was a human at the other end. They happily removed my number from their list after I threatened to vote for the other team if they kept harassing me. But that was the Democrats.
You can try some of the FCC’s recommendations, but I would generally assume malice in this instance. The political entities will probably disappear before anything can be done.
Does it work if it’s always a new number? Nikki Haley sends me one a day. Most of them have some shady link to donate or get free shirts so it’s definitely some scam either way![]()
For reporting them, probably not. For trying to opt-out with a STOP reply, depends on them playing by the rules. Do you think they will play by the rules? I don’t. I would assume malice. That they would forward your number to a bunch of other lists. You might not get Nikki’s spam, but you’ll get spam from 3 other PACs that are only 2 months old.
Sounds like she’s down bad
Replying to spam is usually just a way to confirm that the victim is a “life” one.
