Candidates violate privacy with texts

You will not get my vote. 

To any candidate that robo texted my cell phone or any member of my family, you will not get our vote. How incredibly callous of you Bo Hines. I am a registered Republican but I am voting for someone other than you and if that means a Democrat, then so be it. The same goes for Michele Morrow, Seth Woodall, Addison McDowell, Jon Hardister, Kevin Crutchfield, John Bradford, Mark Robinson, Mark Walker. 

I will also throw in Brad Jenkins because he states that politicians should be doing what the churches tell them. He obviously does not understand what the Bill of Rights is or means. It’s all well and fine until the predominant denomination is not yours. Then will you be OK with the politicians doing what the church tells them? What if the predominant denomination is a cult? Or perceived as a cult? Would you still say the same thing? Probably not. 

Words have meaning. The candidates that texted mine and my family members’ personal cell phones apparently do not appreciate privacy which would mean they do not care about the Bill of Rights either.
