Tired of text spam from political fundraisers? In fact, the sender — the Progressive Turnout Project — was entirely new to me when the message arrived April 15. Here’s a quick explanation of why you, too, might find yourself besieged by political texts and what you can do about them. The law does bar political groups from using an autodialer to spam you with texts unless you give explicit consent in advance. When I replied “Stop” to a fundraising text from the Progressive Turnout Project, for example, I immediately received a text telling me I had been unsubscribed.
