This is what real representation looks like

l have lived in a tent. stood in food bank lines. I’ve pawned my things just to survive.

Congress tells people like us to ‘get a job’ — while they’re giving tax breaks to yacht owners and foreign arms dealers.

That’s why I’m running. Not to be a politician. To be a damn firewall between the working class and corruption."

This is a working-class campaign. Built by the poor, the displaced, the overlooked, and those no one else will fight for.

We don’t take PAC money. We don’t cater to lobbyists. We answer to you — the people of FL-16.

We’re not asking for a seat at their table — we’re building our own damn table.

For every renter scraping by, for every veteran forgotten, for every mom choosing between groceries and gas — this campaign is yours.

If they won’t speak for us, then we speak louder. If they won’t act for us, then we act bolder. And if they won’t move — we push.

We’re not waiting for permission. We’re not playing by their rules.

This is our stand — for the paycheck-to-paycheck, for the single parents, for the ones nobody counts on.

We’re done being quiet. Now it’s our turn to speak. And they’re damn well gonna hear us.

We don’t represent the powerful. We represent the people they step on.

This campaign isn’t about one person — it’s about a movement.

A movement built by people who’ve struggled, survived, and stood back up.

We are the workers who’ve been exploited. The renters priced out. The poor taxed into the ground. The Indigenous voices silenced. The homeless ignored. The ones America tries to sweep under the rug.

We’ve been forgotten long enough. We’re not asking for a voice — we’re taking it back.

This campaign is made up of real people:

A man who’s lived in a tent and knows what rock bottom feels like.

Families that depend on SNAP and Medicaid to survive.

Volunteers who’ve never had a seat at the table — but now are building a new one.

This is the “Votes Not Boats” campaign — a working-class uprising with no corporate strings, no party puppets, and no tolerance for lobbyist lies.

We’re not here to be liked. We’re here to be loud.

And when they tell us to wait our turn, we say: “We already did.”

About Anthony DeRibas

Working-class. Wildlife defender. USPS strong. No millionaire safety net.

Anthony DeRibas isn’t a politician — he’s a public servant who’s lived what most lawmakers only hear about in briefings.

Born in Miami, Florida, Anthony came up through Florida’s public schools before moving to Connecticut with his single mother and sister.

He served as a Community Service Officer for the New Britain, Connecticut Police Department, and was appointed as a Reform Party Justice of the Peace, serving a full four-year term in New Britain, previously running for Registrar of Voters in the Newington, Connecticut election.

Anthony also spent 14 years working for the United States Postal Service, putting in the time and labor that keeps this country moving — not from a podium, but from the sorting room floor.

He’s currently employed at an RV resort in Florida and is an avid wildlife conservationist, often tending to injured or displaced animals on-site.

He’s pursuing an Associate’s Degree in Veterinary Technology, and is currently enrolled in a 10-week certificate program through Harvard Law School in Bioethics.

Through it all, Anthony has never lost sight of who he’s fighting for:

The workers. The poor. The forgotten. The ones Washington ignores.

NO EXCUSES. NO DELAYS. JUST ACTION.

Built for the People. Not the Powerful.

Our Platform – Built for the People, Not the Powerful

This campaign isn’t about left or right. It’s about you vs. the system.

We’re taking power back from career politicians, billionaire donors, and foreign lobbyists — and putting it where it belongs:

In the hands of We the People.

Less Government. More Freedom.

Shrink the scope of bloated federal agencies

No new federal laws unless absolutely necessary

Restore power to local communities and individuals

Debt Down. Waste Cut. Taxes Fair.

Cut $395.9 billion annually in waste — not 10 years from now, but this year

Eliminate the IRS for 99% of Americans — no income tax under $100,000

Replace it with a time-limited surtax on millionaires until the debt is paid

Fully fund Social Security and USPS — with zero cuts to social programs

End Endless War Spending

Cancel foreign military giveaways and overseas operations

Shut down war profiteering and use those billions right here at home

Invest in housing, healthcare, schools, and struggling neighborhoods

No more “America Last” defense budgets

Real Power Back to the People

Legalize federal referendums and ballot initiatives

Bring Congress into the 21st century — remote voting and virtual hearings

Defend civil liberties and privacy — stop the surveillance state

Protect immigrants and Indigenous rights — this land is for all of us

This platform doesn’t serve the elites. It fights for the renters, the vets, the workers, and the poor.

If that’s you — then this campaign is already yours.

Why Donate? Because They've Had Their Turn.

$0.00

We don’t take lobbyist money. We don’t take corporate checks.

This campaign is powered by the people — period.

Your donation isn’t funding yachts, steak dinners, or PAC events.

It’s funding a movement to tear down a broken system and build one that actually serves us.

Every dollar goes toward reaching voters who’ve been ignored, breaking through two-party noise, and fighting for working people who’ve been told to wait way too damn long.

Whether it’s $5 or $500 — it matters. Not just for our resources, but because it sends a message:

The people are done waiting.

Let’s flip the script. Let’s take back the power.

Donate today — and let’s do this together.
