Texting Ethics and the Law

The Law

Texting individuals one by one is called “peer-to-peer” texting, auto sending initial messages is called "application-to-person" texting, both are compliant with FCC laws. Voter lists are maintained and made public by the secretary of each state. Also, political and charitable outreach is not covered by the Federal “Do Not Call” list. However, if someone asks to be removed from our list you are legally required to opt them out.

Aren’t Texts Annoying?

We know that some people can find it annoying to receive texts. However, for every person we may annoy, there are many others who we are informing and helping. It’s just like with phone-banking — some people don’t want to be bothered, but for many, this is their path to engagement!
