National Republican Congressional Committee class action alleges organization sent unsolicited donation texts

National Republican Congressional Committee class action lawsuit overview: 

• Who: Michael Anthony filed a class action lawsuit against the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). 
• Why: Anthony claims the NRCC violates the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by sending unsolicited text messages to consumers without their prior express consent. 
• Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in Pennsylvania federal court. 

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) sends unlawful automated text messages to consumers without their prior express consent, a new class action alleges. 

Plaintiff Michael Anthony claims the GOP committee conducts a “wide scale telemarketing campaign that features unsolicited text message calls to consumers’ cellular telephones.” 

Anthony argues the NRCC is “fully aware that unsolicited text messages calls are being made to consumers’ cellular telephones through its own efforts and that of its agents.” 

“Defendant not only invaded the personal privacy of Plaintiff and members of the alleged Classes, but also intentionally and repeated violated the (Telephone Consumer Protection Act),” states the National Republican Congressional Committee class action. 

Anthony claims the NRCC uses an automated telephone dialing system to allegedly place the unsolicited text messages in violation of the TCPA.  

“The hardware and software used by Defendant and/or its agents has the capacity to store, produce and dial random or sequential numbers en masse, in an automated fashion,” states the National Republican Congressional Committee class action. 

National Republican Congressional Committee class action alleges consumers did not provide express consent

Anthony wants to represent a nationwide class of individuals who have received an unsolicited text message without prior express consent from the NRCC promoting its political agenda while using an automated telephone dialing system. 

In addition to accusations it violated the TCPA, the NRCC is being accused of intrusion upon seclusion, according to the National Republican Congressional Committee class action. 

Anthony demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief along with an award of actual and statutory damages for himself and all class members. 

A number of companies have recently been accused of violating the TCPA by sending unsolicited text messages, including Petland, Subway, Miracle-Gro and Shoe Carnival.
