Text spam

 I gave money online to a few political candidates. In the process, I gave my telephone number. Lately, the number of texts being hit money from political actors associated with their parent organization has increased to maybe six or seven a day. Most texts ended with "Reply Stop to end”—that did nothing The organization put my name in an account that I could manage.  Once, I tried to stop the texts by deleting my phone number—nothing changed. 

I went back to my account profile and added a random phone number. The texts dwindled to one a day and recently to none.
