enough with the text messages begging for campaign donations [View all]

all it does is turn me off from even considering a donation in the future. I get them for congressional races across the country. 4 different ones so far today. all the constant begging does is make me want to ignore all candidates. im not "chipping in" to help candidates 2000 miles away from my house. iden in 20

I donated to biden in 2020 and again in 2023. Beto in texas,assorted other races around me. but no more. im tired of my phone notifying me of a text message multiple times a day begging for money

STOP IT...
