Welcome to the website of Arthur Drew For President
Beliefs & Values
I started this campaign because I believed the breaking down of our Country from within, both the manufacturing and our traditional family values that once gave our Country the strength to prevail and rise to any crisis is being systematically taken away from us.
Campaign Comments
I am offering to serve the Red, White and Blue again as I once did in the 60`s in Vietnam. Only this time being on POINT will mean drawing fire from those who will want BUSINESS AS USUAL.
With the modern day communications technologies, those that would like to send their message to the White House will be able to get their message through.

Why we should not vote for President Obama.
Why we should not vote for Mr Romney.
President Obama comes from a family and country that is extremely poor, and a Father and Grand Father that before their deaths were actively engaged in ANTI COLONIAL activities. These activities would take President Obamas Father and Grand Father against countrys like Great Briton and the United States. Since President Obama presidency started, there has been a systematic dismanteling of our country in many ways, the most serious of which has been the reduction of nuclear wheapons from 5,000 to 1,500, and with plans to reduce our nuclear wheaponson down to 300 or lower. A strong military is a deterrent, hopefully never used. Having a strong military was the reason President Kennedy was able to persuade the Russians to leave Cuba and go back home to Russia during the Cuban miscle crisus. For more infoemation on President Obama, a movie called 2016 (Documentary) is available from Amazon.com. For $3.99 Amazon can show the movie on your computer, and for $13.69 Amazon can send a DVD to you.
To move on to Mr Romney who is also taking our country down but for a diffeent reason and a different way, "Greed" (Outsourcing).
Obama Care: What is it’s worth?
Much has been said about Obama Care. We don’t need another Tax. We need our jobs brought back home to put real money in the pockets of the Main Street Consumer so they can buy the health plan that is right for the individual or family. We don’t have to look far to see what the Feds will do with money when they have it in their control. Need I give examples of how the Social Security system has been misused and abused over the decades?
How about moneys put in the hands of the Feds by the Federal Employees for safe keeping, and the retirement fund for the Federal Employees were raided by the Fed later. How about funds taken from the Tobacco Industry. Has the Feds been rehabilitated? Who is to say the Feds won’t continue their past practice. Let the American consumer choose their own individual insurance plan based on their own preferences and need.
With Obama Care the health care cost will jump up with all kinds or run away increase in costs. Health care costs needs serious revaluation in many areas. Why $2000 + for 15 minutes on a MRI machine? Why two pricing standards on the same medicines (generic & non generic). We need to look at ways to reduce health care costs not ways to jump costs. Need I say more, it’s not rocket science.
In closing I would like to make note that we Americans have the finest health care professionals in the world: We have runaway liability insurance costs forcing professionals out of service etc. There is much that needs to be done with the medical infrastructure. The health care system is just one more area that is under attack, and being dismantled in America, believe it or not. I have examples. What are we going to do about it? Are we going to vote for more of the same, "Demo - Republic", or make the plunge and vote for a change? I have finally arrived, give me a try, I will make you glad you did. To vote for more of the "Demo - Republic" tare down, we will soon have more than health care issues on our minds, what an ugly thought. Our ancestors were willing to make a change by leaving the old country and travel to the new world and look what was waiting for them when they got here. People from other countries would like to move in and take over. Some of these people are here. The process of loosing our country is under way, believe it or not. If Obama Care prevails, I will return freedom of choice if the voters so choose in Nov.

Art Drew
What does this healthcare change means?
Yes, you read it right: Roberts voted with the majority opinion, ruling that the individual mandate is, in fact, constitutional. Roberts has led the most conservative bunch of justices the U.S. has seen since the early 1970s. Striking down Obamacare would have solidified this reputation. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the high courts most liberal member, is actually a lot less liberal than previous lefty justices. Check out Mother Jones's graph on just how conservative the Supreme Court has gotten over the past 75 years.
The Supreme Court upheld Obamacare and the individual mandate on Thursday. Its actually a pretty big deal. Heres why.
Whats happened at the Supreme Court on Thursday?
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court voted to uphold President Obama's signature piece of legislation, including the controversial individual mandate. The individual mandate survived as a tax.
Before we get to what those questions are, lets back up a little. What, exactly, is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, anyway?
The PPACA, also known as Obamacare, is President Obamas signature policy that was passed by a majority Democratic Congress in 2010. At around 2,700 pages with some 450 provisionsit is one dense piece of legislation and, as such, extremely confusing and intimidating to tackle. Bottom line, though, is that its intended to get more Americans insured, and make insurance more affordable. A lot of people (mostly Democrats) like it well enough, others (mostly Republicans) dislike or hate it, and some (mostly average Americans) just dont know what to think.
If it was already passed in 2010, why are we still debating it?
Though the law passed through Congress, not everyone was excited about it. So 26 states, led by Florida, filed a series of appeals against the law to the Supreme Court challenging, specifically, the individual mandate, which threatens a financial penalty for most citizens who do not purchase health insurance by 2014. For a more detailed explanation of how Obamacare landed on the Supreme Court steps, click through The Washington Posts interactive guide to states that have already determined the law unconstitutional.
Can the federal government actually require people to buy insurance?
According to the Supreme Court, yes they can. Twenty-six states that brought the legislation to court argue that requiring people to purchase health insurance is a violation of the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.
What is the Commerce Clause, you ask? Its a part of the U.S. Constitution that makes it illegal for the federal government to force its citizens to make any commercial purchases they may not want or need. If the Supreme Court justices agree that requiring people to buy health insurance is, in fact, a violation of this clause, then theyll deem the health-care legislation unconstitutional.
Wait, is all this fuss just over the individual mandate?
People are pretty hyped about the individual mandate, but no, its not the only point of contention. Obamacare also aims to expand Medicaid the current federal health-care system offered to those lacking in financial resourcesto cover 16 million more Americans than it already does. Now that the constitutionality of the law is being questioned so is the Medicaid provision. The Atlantic offers an excellent, detailed guide to what this expansion actually means and why constitutional or not it might actually hurt those people it aims to help.
Are we freaking out for no reason? Whats this talk of the court not even being able to consider the case until 2015?
The funny thing about court cases is seeing what laws or precedents lawyers for either side will throw against the wall in hopes that one will stick. The Anti-Injunction Act has been dusted off from 1867 to make the case that Obamas health-care law cant even be argued in court right now. That act sometimes referred to vaguely as the tax law says no one can pursue a lawsuit against a tax or fine that hasnt been paid. In other words, since the rules of the Obamacare individual mandate doesn`t kick in until 2014, a court case really can`t be argued until 2015. The chances that this argument will work to scrap the case altogether are slim, however. Legal experts and the Justice Department have doubted that arguments effectiveness in stopping the suit from being heard.
So this is a
5-4 decision? Wasn't this expected?
Many Supreme Court observers had predicted a 5-4 decision, but most had predicted that Justice Anthony Kennedy would be the swing vote, not Chief Justice John Roberts, who voted with the liberal wing of the Supreme Court.
