I have to say that Bernie is the first one to inspire me to get into politics. And because of Bernie, I will forever check people's voting records and who their top contributors are.

And from what I could find, I really couldn't vote for Roy Cooper.

Here's some more non progressive crap I found out about him...

Here's the contributors list: https://votesmart.org/candidate/campaign-finance/5900/roy-cooper-iii#.VuYlY6crI2w

And here's the Political Courage Test he took for votesmart.org: http://votesmart.org/candidate/political-courage-test/5900/roy-cooper-iii/#.VuYlgKcrI2w

Take note his answers to the following questions:
d) Do you believe that North Carolina government should recognize same-sex marriages? - NO

e) Do you believe that North Carolina government should add sexual orientation to the state's anti-discrimination laws? - NO
