I'm getting 40+ unwanted donation requests a day on my phone [View all]

I'm considering suing my phone company for being complicit in the harrassment and destruction of the quiet enjoyment of my home.
The Dems I have donated to are the real source of the problem, shopping my contact around without my permission, and no way to opt out.

I OPT OUT! NOW!

Every campaign in the country is not who I care to interact with.

I refuse to change MY phone number. I DEMAND a stop to this harrassment.
