This is another post for the Political Candidates – When advertising your candidacy on television, it’s not really necessary to tell us that you approve your own message. I don’t believe it’s required by the FCC. It’s pretty obvious that you’d approve your own message, don’t you think? It sounds dorky too.
I’m Shelly Borrell and I approve this message. See.

Actually it’s required by the FEC, not the FCC:
“Like radio broadcasts, televised communications must include an oral disclaimer spoken by the candidate in which the candidate identifies himself or herself and states that he or she has approved the communication.”
Here’s the site:
