Roseanne Barr said Thursday she's running for the Green Party's presidential
nomination — and it's no joke.

The actress-comedian said in a statement that she's a longtime supporter of the
party and looks forward to working with people who share her values. She said
the two major parties aren't serving the American people.

"The Democrats and Republicans have proven that they are servants -- bought and
paid for by the 1% -- who are not doing what's in the best interest of the
American people," Barr said.
Occupy Wall Street protesters popularized the "We are the 99 percent" slogan in
their fight against economic disparity and perceived corporate greed.

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 said she has been fighting for working-class families and women for
decades.

"I will barnstorm American living rooms," she said in a candidate questionnaire
submitted to the Green Party. "Mainstream media will be unable to ignore me, but
more importantly they will be unable to overlook the needs of average Americans
in the run-up to the 2012 election."

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.
