Arthur C. “Art” Olivier, former mayor of Bellflower, California, was the Libertarian candidate for Vice President in the United States presidential election in 2000 as the running mate of presidential candidate Harry Browne.
Art Olivier is a graduate of Cerritos College with a degree in Design Techonology. He and his wife Joyce have four children.
Olivier served as a councilman (1994–1997), mayor pro tempore (1997–1998) and mayor (1998–1999) of Bellflower, a Los Angeles suburb with 77,000 residents. Olivier is a Realtor with Cogburn-Miller Realty.
During his five years on the City Council (1994–99), Olivier privatized the city's tree trimming, crossing guards, street sweeping and the Building Department. He eliminated the city's lighting tax assessment and did not allow eminent domain to be exercised while on council.
During the campaign for Vice President, Olivier advocated smaller government, “We have to reduce the size of the federal government back to the size of its constitutional limits.” He said he would like the government to return U.S. troops from abroad and make the Department of Defense get back to defending us, and not be a Department of Offense that bombs little countries.” “I don’t believe we should be the world’s policeman.” He believes that U.S. foreign policy should be governed by an avoidance of “entangling alliances.” “The conflicts this country has entered into cause others to look badly upon America."

You're All I See
Hold back, I won't hold back.
This fight will be the death of me,
or will it set me free?
(Will it finally set me free)
Will it set me free?
Love me if you know what it means,
and I'll be as strong
as you need me to be
(as strong as you need).
Yeah you'll see.
And everywhere I look you're all I see.
Did you mean anything?
Can't you see you're my everything.
And I was on the outside looking in.
You know I want you, I want you
(you're all I see).
And I cannot let go.
Stay awake,
don't let it pull you in.
It'll drag you under water,
with no chance to swim.
It's gonna try,
gonna try to pull us in.
The fog rolls in to block out the light.
Answers and questions
removed from all sight.
But I won't give up, if you won't.
I won't give up, if you won't.
And everywhere I look you're all I see.
Did you mean anything?
Can't you see you're my everything.
And I was on the outside looking in.
You know I want you, I want you
(you're all I see).
And I cannot let go.
I was on the outside looking
from the wrong side of it all.
You know I need you, I need you,
I cannot let... I cannot let go.
Hold on, hold on!
Can't you see?
Please believe...
And I was on the outside looking in...
You know I want you, I want you.
(you're all I see)
And I cannot let go.
Now I'm on the inside looking
from the right side of it all.
You know you want me,
I want you! So let's not let...
Let's not let this go.
Hold back, I won't hold back.
This fight will be the death of me,
or will it set me free?
Will it set me free?
It's not about what you've done.
It's all about what you'll become.
