Israel failed stepped -- -- endless war and -- yeah and on behalf yeah.

Yeah -- We caught up with domestic goddess turned presidential candidate Roseanne Barr Bob during a town hall meeting at America's first -- college.

Nothing up here on tax -- -- then plays the bad.

Kind of the military industrial complex is closed down them will be able to grow imports won't say all of bar happened.

Same thing that made me wanna do -- sitcom.

Sit home and watching TV.

-- I -- the sitcom Mike got.

Well I could do better in that same idea and no one of your.

Major issues is the legalization of marijuana is that way here it hopes to -- today.

Yeah now that -- I am here I -- believe that we live in a free country and so we should be free.

To us smoke what we want -- drink -- and particularly if it.

-- what we want to -- his medication that does great things source the author of -- anarchy.

Dispatches from the nut farm says we helped her with symptoms of bipolar disorder.

He would partake in marijuana medical marijuana at least.

-- should be legalized all the way you know marijuana in California some billion dollar industry.

And that we need those taxes for schools and other programs are cutting.

After failing to gain the -- from California's Green Party Roseanne was nominated by the peace and Freedom Party.

Founded in Los Angeles during the sixties anti war movement.

-- party nominated Ralph Nader in 2008.

The are.

Once a safe haven in California's thriving medical marijuana industry.

Poster damn taught thousands of students cultivation and drew medical marijuana until a federal crackdown in April.

The college is now struggling to keep their doors open.

They take everything -- the office furniture so they really brought the school to its knees but fortunately they also managed to dis associate the school from any of the other marijuana businesses.

Do -- before tell me that having risen and here.

After.

All this happened at -- -- and the universe.

Well the war goes on and we have more people coming out for legalization every day we just had three presidents.

South American countries that the United Nations this week call for legalization.

So I think things are going our way more than ever with three states that have -- Washington and Colorado that have -- on the ballot this year.

So we're real hopeful.

How would life be different under -- bars -- ministries.

Well it makes a lot more sense I'll tell -- that do I would have pot legal and I would immediately make war illegal and the business of war illegal war profiteering is ridiculous shameful to make -- your opinions of President Obama and candidate Mitt Romney.

I think their -- farewell my.

-- -- Majority of the American people they weren't for the same guys.

And I think the American people out there right to help her party not owned by bankers and that's another reason why I'm run for president.

So she's -- she's serious about this -- -- serious enough to have gotten onto the ballot and that at least Florida.

I think our main objective is to keep.

Her party alive by -- enough votes and money the peace and Freedom Party needs 45000.

Registered voters on their platform.

In order to be on the ballot for the state elections in California and 2014 says he -- in her.

You know 20000 both having Nader got 4050000.

Votes he gave the election that George WS throughout the -- -- that be something on the on the breezing.
