GOP candidate for governor slams Roy Cooper's stance on marriage amendment

Paul Wright, a little known Republican candidate for governor, is slamming Attorney General Roy Cooper for his statement against the constitutional amendment on marriage.

Wright writes this: "This is appalling. As a former Superior Court judge, I saw many laws that could have been better written and yet I had the duty to enforce them. Mr. Cooper has already disappointed many by not joining our sister states (VA, GA, and SC) in the lawsuit currently before the Supreme Court against Obama Care. He decided that North Carolina should sit on the sidelines in this epic struggle. Now it appears Mr. Cooper does not want the marriage amendment. I publicly ask all Republicans, conservatives, and particularly all candidates for Governor to request the Attorney General to not interfere and let the people decide and vote their conscience on this amendment May 8th."

Republicans NEED to Debate

Thank you Judge Wright for calling out Attorney General Roy Cooper.   No other Republican including Pat McCrory, that I've read, has done this.  Why not?  There are other issues that are not being discussed that need to be debated.   Many Republicans want a debate.  Lets have one.
