This site has a very handy way to look up whether a state has unconstitutional disclaimer requirements.

Example: I chose to search on "advertisement disclosure" (sic - they mean disclaimer).
Alabama:
Advertisement disclosure: Are committees required to disclose their identity on print advertisements?
AL ST § 17-22A-12
Any paid political advertisement appearing in any print media or broadcast on any electronic media shall be clearly identified or marked as a paid advertisement. It shall be unlawful for any person, candidate, principal campaign committee or other political committee to broadcast, publish or circulate any campaign literature or political advertisement, without a notice appearing on the face or front page of any printed matter, or broadcast at the beginning or end of a radio or television spot, stating that the communication was a paid advertisement and giving the identification of the person, principal campaign committee or other political committee that paid for or otherwise authorized such communication.

(b) The provisions of (a) of this section do not apply when the communication
(1) is paid for by an individual acting independently of any group or nongroup entity and independently of any other individual.
