Republican Congressman Rob Bresnahan campaigned on banning stock trading by lawmakers, only to make over 600 trades himself. He sold stocks before voting for massive Medicaid cuts, putting his own profit above Pennsylvania hospitals. Is this the kind of politician we want representing us? #Corruption #HealthcareInjustice
While campaign calls and texts are exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry requirements, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) contains specific rules they must follow.
In general, robocalls and robotexts to mobile phones require prior consent. Political robocalls to landlines are allowed without prior consent, but there are exceptions as detailed below. In addition, political robocalls made to residential landline phones without the prior consent of the called party are limited to no more than three calls within any consecutive 30-day period.
I remember someone posting here about how some gun store owner in Ohio had figured this out and ran for office, sending out text messages to promote his gun store as part of his campaign. I imagine that he wasn’t primarily interested in the political office.
this is explicitly allowed for congresscritters. they are legally allowed to insider trade… because… they said so.
if youre in congress and not cashing in on the fake-valuations that are the stock market, youre just not trying.
They also have an exception to do robocalls via phones even if someone is on the national Do Not Call list.
