Roseanne Barr really is adding presidential hopeful to her resume. For voters looking for a third-party candidate (who also happens to be a Hollywood celebrity), Barr could be the one for you!
A Green Party member, the Emmy-winning actress, 59, had announced her intention to run last summer -- but this week she filed the paperwork to run for President of the United States, she confirmed Thursday via her Twitter account.
"If ppl will merely do as I tell them to do just this one time, I promise everything will get a lot better quickly4 the majority. #nutn2lose," Barr twittered.
And if that's not clear enough, she added, "I am running for Green Party nominee for POTUS. I am an official candidate. I am4 the Greening of America&the world. Green=peace/justice."
But just because she is hoping to run as a Green Party candidate, doesn't mean the Green Party will officially backs her presidential bid because they welcome all Green members' perspectives in the race.
"Our standpoint is that Roseanne is running for the nomination, and we are impartial to all our candidates officially," Scott McLarty, national coordinator for the Green Party, tells E! News.
"We welcome Roseanne Barr into the race, and she will make it very interesting from what I have seen. Ms. Barr wants to say some very serious things in her campaign, and from what I can tell, she is motivated by her own experiences and her desire to see the United States become a much better country."
In the United States, there are 132 Green members in public office, including five mayors. The Green Party will nominate its official 2012 presidential candidate at a convention in Baltimore, Md., this summer.
Barr is certainly an optimistic advocate of the party.
"The green party offers the only hope that exists on this planet. To rid ourselves of war and injustice, done in the name of money. UTOPIA!" she wrote on Twitter.
