BeverageUnderground's video: Florida Politics 2012: Byron Donalds is the People s Candidate for US Congress

(ESTERO, FLORIDA) July 28, 2012- Many topics come up while people are enjoying adult beverages and often times Barroom Banter causes spirited conversations on sports, music, politics and even religion. Bartenders will tell you that sports and music are a lot safer discussions and that politics and religion are even more polarizing than Yankees-Red Sox debates. So when Larry 'Smokey' Genta of www.BeverageUnderground.com began to hear fellow hospitality professionals talk about Byron Donalds an unlikely 33 year-old political outsider who is emerging as the candidate of the people for Florida's US Congress District 19, he got curious. "I wanted to find who this guy Byron Donalds is with his tie off, after a day of work and sitting down in an environment that I was comfortable with" said Genta, a 42 year resident of Southwest Florida. "I knew that my questions wouldn't be usual and I was impressed that no one ever asked to approve them or to qualify me", added Genta. We were just two guys shooting the breeze". Donalds is a grassroots candidate who has rapidly moved from being an unknown to a contender and he isn't worried that he doesn't look like a Republican and isn't worried that he doesn't have the major endorsements that sways dollars and votes, in fact he says that those insider endorsements have been part of the problem. "I've never met Paul Ryan or Jeb Bush or Connie Mack. We've been listening to this political class for 50 to 100 years. Where has that taken us?" Donalds asks voters. "We are where we are because of who's been here. People need someone who makes sense. I make sense." Byron Donalds believes less is more when it comes to government and he knows that there is a work force in Florida that doesn't care about party lines as much as they care about being the voice for change in the way tax money is spent. Donalds is educated, down to earth and an independent thinker. He wasn't always a Republican and ultimately it was his passion for history and the truth that ultimately led him to embrace Constitutional Conservatism. "We won't have reform in Washington without persuading the average voter of the conservative approach," Donalds said. "What we're trying to do is what's best for the country." The Republican primary in Florida is August 14, 2012 and it's Byron Donalds first try at political office and his opponents have backgrounds that includes law, medicine, real estate, media, and political bloodlines.
