That's not so bad.... I get texts from NY, California, and VT.

My cell phone number I've had for years. I lived in Northern NY State, so I have a 518 area code. Then I lived in California for a couple years, and finally moved back East and settled in VT.

I just block all of them when I get texts. I'm sick of all of them. I feel 98.5% of politicians are just crappy people. And I absolutely hate the politicking that goes on and on, seemingly unstopping, just continuing on from one election year to the next.

I get texts from every race in the country it seems like. My wife donated to Bernie during the last presidential election, and now I’m getting constant spam texts from every progressive democrat around the country asking me to donate and telling me it’s the “most important election ever”. I text back every single one to stop receiving texts, but they all come from different numbers so there’s no end to it. I really wish I knew how to take my number off whatever list it’s on, but I have a feeling that’s not possible.

Yeah. I tried the reply with STOP, but it never works. As you said, they come from different, random numbers, sometimes repeats. Now I just block every single one if them, so at least I'm avoiding the repeats.

My phone number is a number you would easily make up if trying to make a fake phone number. The result is that two people in VT use my number for all kinds of shit and I get all kinds of texts targeted at them. Well apparently someone in Minnesota has started using it too as well as PA because I get no fewer than 3 MN/PA political texts per day.
