In campaign contributions from the candidate, Phillies is first at $81527 and Root is second at $4421.

Commenting on the financial results to date, Phillies reminded Libertarian readers "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. If you don't want much of a Presidential campaign, all you need to do is not invest much time or money in it. Between Hillary 'It takes a village to bankrupt a taxpayer' Clinton and John 'Hundred Years of War' McCain, we Libertarians have great opportunities, but so far we aren't taking advantage of them. It's your call."
