According to an opinion published in The Hill, individuals should respond to text messages or emails from politicians and political organizations requesting donations by writing back and asking the sender for money instead.
Citizens urged to text candidates back to request funding
I’ve been doing this for years. Worst case is they unsubscribe, best case is I get free money.
Interesting rhetorical device, but seriously? Congress won’t fund us just because we asked nicely in a text.
Love the audacity! Turning the tables on those spammy fundraising texts. Never felt so empowered.
I tried it with my representative. Got blocked immediately. Does this actually work for anyone?
This is genius. Why give when I can take? Politicians need to feel the pressure too.
