I make political donations to a few officeholders and candidates. I get a seemingly never-ending deluge of text messages from across the country requesting donations. I usually send a "stop" message, but the word is out.
I learned very quickly as a university student that engaging in the political process is heavily punished by the exact people you thought you were trying to help. I have never donated or campaigned again and it took 10 years to get off of all the spam lists.
