Actress, Comedienne Roseanne Barr (Green Tea)
2012 Candidate for President of the United States
Roseanne Cherie Barr (born November 3, 1952 in Salt Lake City, Utah) is an American actress, comedian, writer, television
producer and director.
Barr won both an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her work on the hit TV show Roseanne. In
addition, she has won six People's Choice Awards, three American Comedy Awards, a Kids Choice Award, a GLAAD Media Award,
and the TV Land Innovator Award.
In May 2010, Barr announced her dual candidacies for President of the United States and Prime Minster of Israel on the "Green
Tea Party" ticket (the quotation marks around the organization's title are the candidate's, and the party did not have a website
as of January 2011). Barr declared "patriarchal politics" obsolete, called for the "divine matriarchy," and described her
religious affliation as the "The Church of Common Sense." She has been described as "serious" in her Presidential aspirations,
telling Entertainment Weekly, "I'm getting all my ducks in a row. I have all these ideas, and I just might do them."
