I always would hang up on robocalls, even from those I do business with. If they want to contact me bad enough, they will do so with a real person.

I saw this announcement last night and almost clapped out loud. Does this apply to political robo calls as well? Does anybody know?

Now they need a Do Not Text registry to go with Do Not Call.

Oh I hope not. How am I going to know whether or not Lamar Smith is still fighting to save me from Barack Obama's socialist policies if his computer can't call me every few months to remind me that he is?

For real, this shit is fucking stupid. "TEXT us with STOP so we know your number works and we can sell it to 23532 other advertisement firms!"

Per the article, no.

Per the article, some subset of texting apply too.
