I just counted and I have sent STOP to 26 5-6 digit numbers this year and they still come, all for one specific political party I've never donated to. It seems like they technically respect the STOP but your number is already passed on/gets passed on to other PACs/politicians regardless.

It's often the most valuable asset a campaign has.
