> I can't remember the last time I got an unsolicited text.

There's some bullshit law that allows political parties to harvest voter telephone numbers in my state, so I get pummeled by unsolicited text messages from political campaigns.

For the ones that actually have a human on the other end monitoring it, replying with 'I cannot vote, I'm a felon' (regardless of what the actual law is for voting and felons in my state) is a good way to get them to leave you alone.
