Differences on the Economy
An Enlightening Comparison!
My primary opponent has stated that he can't fully support the NCGOP Plaform. Meanwhile, his positions on some of the most important issues of our time seem eerily similar to those of the National Libertarian Party.
I, Augustus Cho, support the Republican Party Platform entirely, but I am also guided by conservative convictions that I share with President Ronald Reagan.
Judge for yourself. Who is the true Republican?

Military Commissions Act of 2006
I support this legislation, and believe that enemy combatants should not receive the same treatment as U.S. citizens.
My opponent opposed this legislation which was enacted to insure that terrorist detainees were tried by military tribunals, not in civilian courts.
The Libertarian Party also opposd this legislation.
America, "Imperialist?"
I believe American foreign policy, while not perfect, has done a great deal of good in the world, and that words like "empire" and "imperialist" should only be reserved to describe regimes who truly annex land and subjugate other peoples.
My opponent characterizes American foreign policy as maintaining a "global empire".
The Libertarian Party calls American foreign policy "imperialist adventures."
Illegal Immigration
I believe that sanctions on employers who hire illegal aliens is at the root of a comprehensive strategy to deal with the problem of illegal immigration.
My opponent refuses to endorse sanctions on employers who hire illegal immigrants.
So does the Libertarian Party.
The positions above attributed to the Libertarian Party and my opponent can be found at www.lp.org and www.lawsonforcongress.com .
