WASHINGTON (AP) - Roseanne Barr is
running for the Green Party's presidential nomination - and she says it's no
joke.
The actress-comedian said in a statement
Thursday that she's a longtime supporter of the party and looks forward to
working with people who share her values. She said Democrats and Republicans
aren't working in the best interests of the American people.
Barr has submitted paperwork to the
Green Party for her candidacy. The party's presidential nominee will be
selected at a convention in Baltimore in July.
Barr's hit TV sitcom
"Roseanne" aired from 1988 to 1997 and earned her an Emmy and a
Golden Globe. She played a wise-cracking mom in the comedy about a blue-collar
family. Barr has a 46-acre macadamia nut farm in Hawaii.
