Make opting in the rule.
Candidates and campaigns should contact you by text, phone, or email only when you have explicitly asked for it or given clear permission.
Iowa deserves a little peace.
Your phone.
Your inbox.
Your permission.
Political speech matters. So does your private life. We urge Iowa to ban unsolicited political texts, calls, and emails unless you clearly opt in.
Not anti-politics. Pro-permission.
One simple standard
Consent comes first.
What we stand for
Respect for political speech
Clear, explicit permission
Citizens’ time comes first
The case for consent
An election isn’t an invitation.
During the last election cycle, some Iowans received six or seven unwanted political texts a day from different candidates—on top of robo-calls and emails.
The principle behind our call
A personal number is not public permission.
We are advocating for a change in Iowa law. This site does not block messages or remove you from campaign contact lists.
Protect all three channels.
Unwanted texts, calls, and emails all interrupt daily life. Iowa should set a consent standard that covers each—not just one.
Put people before contact lists.
Citizens deserve time, privacy, and peace of mind. Respecting political speech should not mean treating every phone and inbox as open season.
Enough interruptions. Time for action.
Tell Iowa:
ask before you send.
Ask your state legislators to support an explicit opt-in requirement for political texts, calls, and emails.
