In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted

“I really don't see any justification for this requirement. I believe that it is an insult to the intelligence of New Hampshire voters to suggest that they are unable to recognize political advertising without a label.”
— Russell Cumbee, Franconia, NHsupports
“I strongly oppose this bill. Political advertising disclaimer laws foster transparency and accountability in the political process. The ethical choice is to clearly mark political advertising. Why would we not want political advertising to be marked?…”
— Patricia Anastasia, Londonderryopposes
“With the amount of misinformation and people stating opinion as fact, this law should absolutely not move forward. It is important that political ads are clearly labeled as they have been previously.”
— Heather Fritchy, DERRYopposes
