How do you get off these lists?
gigel82•1h ago
What I want to know is how do I get myself off their damn list? I collected 46 different numbers pointing to at least 21 different domains before I gave up. Reported everything to the FCC but nothing happened. These "democratic" spam texts make up 99%+ of the spam I'm receiving and it's driving me insane...

Cool that they provide 500 lines of R code used to generate the analysis.

You'd need to sign up for an API key here: https://api.data.gov/signup/

A pass-through rate of < 2% seems unbelievable, makes me wonder how well other operations perform.

A fundraising 1.6% efficient fundraising model... This surely can't be true can it? Surely a national scandal if so?

This article suggests it's mostly groups which the democratic party is against, but can't stop because of loose campaign finance regulations. But the posted article suggests the DCCC is involved with Mothership.
