Anti-Tomblin Ally Spamming West Virginia Cell Phones

by: CA Berkeley WV

Several of the cell phones on our family plan received the same SMS text message a few minutes ago, including several lines assigned to those not yet of voting age.

The URL is a shortened link to the YouTube channel of someone who enjoys using edited Faux Noise video footage, and for whom everyday is must be opposite day.

Just. Go. Vote.

NakedEmperorNews must be a graduate of the Breithbart School of Non-Journalism. And aren't there still some rules about cell phones? How in the H-E-doublehockeysticks did anyone get all the family's numbers?

Do you have a Sprint account? I'd love to nail someone to the wall for this... I don't appreciate being awoken by spam. Gop bastards.

I prefer the term *bass-turds*, and, yeah, Sprint (0.00 / 0)

I have to go to one of their stores today for another reason, so they may get an earful.

....and the phone number included in my text which is supposedly Tomblin's (304-342-0000) is the number for 'Rt 21 Diner' in Charleatin, WV. F***ING IDIOTS.

Vote principle - Vote Mountain Party (2.00 / 4)

Neither Tomblin or Maloney are worthy of my vote, and they certainly aren't worthy of your votes either.

No liberal, in good conscience, can vote for either.

Sprint Cell as well (0.00 / 0)

I sent back a text saying to not send any more messages to this number and got back an automated reply the said "Please remember to vote this Tuesday October 4th! West Virginia can send Obama a powerful message"

STOP maybe a comand that turns these off (0.00 / 0)

I am of the thinking that responding to spam just confirms they reached a live person, unless it it the opt-out button

Rules don't apply to political mesages (4.00 / 1)

Our freedom of speech at work

The FCC's CAN-SPAM Rules
The FCC's ban on sending unwanted email messages to wireless devices applies to all "commercial messages." ....The FCC's ban also does not cover non-commercial messages, such as messages about candidates for public office.

Balloon Juice makes me feel slighted (0.00 / 0)

Evidently others are getting texts pretending to be from the Tomblin camp.
