Avoid Cruz solicitations

Sun., June 28, 2015

Would you like four robocalls per day? All you need to do is send one donation to Sen. Ted Cruz, as we initially did, and your phone will fill up with ongoing calls.

The first call arrives at 9 a.m., then 11 a.m., followed up with another at 3 p.m. and a final at 7 p.m., virtually every day. Despite our ongoing efforts to stop these calls, our requests are ignored by Cruz. We have utilized their opt-out button four times, left three voicemail recordings and a formal letter of request, all of which are ignored.

There is absolutely no way to stop these calls with any federal or state agency. Political campaigns are exempt from any regulatory actions. Avoid the Cruz nightmare at all costs. Do not contribute toward his campaign.
