Every election season, millions of Americans are hit with a nonstop stream of political robocalls, text messages, and ads that interrupt their phones, inboxes, and television with almost no way to opt out and the volume has only grown. At the same time, ordinary political signs placed on street corners remain a long-accepted, low-tech form of campaigning that voters can simply drive past or ignore.

 This petition calls on Congress and the Federal Communications Commission to draw a clear line: treat unsolicited political texts and robocalls more like commercial spam by strengthening consent rules, improving opt-out enforcement, and increasing penalties for repeat violations, while leaving traditional corner and yard signs alone. Spammy the Bear is already out on corners making this exact point in person. The signatures collected here will be used to show lawmakers and regulators that voters are tired of the digital and phone spam but are fine with physical signs. The plan is to grow the petition through social media, then deliver the results to members of Congress, relevant committees, and the FCC so the public pressure is documented and harder to ignore. Combined with individual complaints to carriers and the FCC, this creates a practical path from public frustration to actual rules that reduce the spam.

The intrusion of our personal lives every election cycle is not just an inconvenience; it reflects a broader issue of consent and respect. While engaging voters is vital for democracy, it should not come at the expense of our peace of mind and privacy. By supporting this petition, you lend your voice to the countless Americans who are tired of being overwhelmed each election season. Let's work towards a balanced approach that respects the rights of voters while allowing political discourse to thrive in a more considerate manner.

Sign this petition to urge Congress to take action against unsolicited political robocalls and ads, and help protect the privacy and choices of Americans everywhere.
