This is great. Beto O’Rourke is annoying Texas so much with his unsolicited texts that one guy is SUING!!
From the Hill:
A Texas resident sued Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s (D) campaign for U.S. Senate because of campaign text messages sent ahead of the midterm elections.
A class action lawsuit was filed against the Beto for Texas campaign by Sameer Syeed on Friday, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
Syeed argues in the lawsuit that the campaign has violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
The law bans automated telephone equipment being used to send calls or texts to people’s cellphones without their permission — except for emergencies.
Syeed received nine messages from the organization without giving the campaign permission to contact him, according to the newspaper.
He is demanding at least $500 per text message for him and all Texans who received the unwanted texts.
Syeed tried calling the phone number and texting back to get the messages to stop, but the number was disconnected and he never received a response.
Meanwhile, Trump and Cruz’s rally had to move because of the MASSIVE response. But keep annoying Texans, Beta, I’m sure that’ll work out well for you…
