| I must have mis-googled the first time, because I looked for "(state) broadcast tv political ad disclaimers," and stumbled on this FEC site, with specifics. It lists the 4% rule. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2011-title11-vol1/xml/CFR-2011-title11-vol1-sec110-11.xml And I found this info on 10 states: http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/10-state-analysis-of-campaign-ad-disclosure-laws Yep, I'm not particularly proud to be doing political spots, but they go fast, pay very quickly (2 days average), can be fun to do, and only come around every two years. Thanks for the input, everybody! Jim C.
