It's only a matter of time before junk text messages becomes a serious problem, especially for people who have to pay for every text message they receive. Today, people are paying to get Ron Paul spam.

I wonder if Ron Paul has a position on the issue?

In December, SecureWorks, an online security firm, caught onto a spambot, developed by a Ron Paul supporter apparently. In October, Wired Magazine also focused on the amount of Ron Paul spam, and quoted a Ron Paul official as denying any knowledge.

I was annoyed to get one of these today. I think you should find out how we can send a bill for this message to the Ron Paul campaign.
