PACspam.org
Your phone doesn’t need to live like this.
Political campaigns send billions of unsolicited fundraising texts every cycle. PACspam turns that flood into public accountability: report a spam text in one guided flow, and we surface the repeat-offender committees behind them—transparently, and anchored in public FEC data.
How it works
Three steps from “ugh, another one” to a transparent public record.
Report in seconds
Paste the message or share a screenshot from your phone. On-device-style OCR reads the text, extracts the sender and donation link, and flags urgency, fake deadlines, and matching-gift claims—no typing required.
Offenders, not opinions
Each report is traced to its FEC-registered committee. Repeat senders rise on a transparent, behavior-only leaderboard—ranked purely on how they text, never on what they believe or who they support.
Follow the money
The built-in FEC Texting-Spend Explorer maps hundreds of millions in campaign texting spend by vendor, party, cycle, and state—so anyone can see who is powering the spam economy.
Accountability, not censorship
PACspam is built on hard constraints that protect free speech and personal privacy by design.
Behavior-only
Committees are ranked on sending behavior—volume, consent, and dark-pattern claims—never on political viewpoint or content.
Privacy-first
Screenshots are read, cropped, and discarded. Personal messages are never shown to anyone else; only public committee and donation-page data is surfaced.
Official channels only
Escalation points to committees and candidates through official public channels—plus the FCC, FTC, and 7726/STOP. No individual is ever personally targeted.
Report your first spam text
It takes about thirty seconds—and it makes the pattern visible for everyone.
