>in the USA, don't donate more than $200 to any political campaign. If you donate more than $200, then those contributions have to be reported to the FEC You may get on additional spam lists if you donate but that's not what happened to my friend that's now getting multiple campaign messages every single day. She never donated to anybody. She simply registered to vote. Even though she avoided putting her cellphone # on the registration form, the voters registrations are public information and the databrokers hired by political campaigns cross-referenced her name & address to find her cellphone #. Replying with STOP doesn't help. The endless SMS texts have gotten so bad that she's giving up her phone number that she's had for 25 years and switching to a new # to get her privacy back.
