Barr was given a prime speaking role at the [[2012 Green National Convention|Green Party National Convention]] in [[Baltimore]], Maryland, but decided to instead send a surrogate ([[Farheen Hakeem]]) to speak on her behalf.

A shouting match in a hallway reportedly ensued.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/reliable-source/post/read-this-roseanne-barr-blows-off-green-party-jason-kidd-kerry-kennedy-arrested-on-driving-charges/2012/07/15/gJQAptTanW_blog.html | title=Read this: Roseanne Barr blows off Green Party; Jason Kidd, Kerry Kennedy arrested on driving charges | newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] | date=July 16, 2012 | access-date=July 16, 2012 | author=The Reliable Source | archive-date=July 17, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120717110028/http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/reliable-source/post/read-this-roseanne-barr-blows-off-green-party-jason-kidd-kerry-kennedy-arrested-on-driving-charges/2012/07/15/gJQAptTanW_blog.html | url-status=live }}</ref>

Sheehan immediately had disagreements with Barr's views on policy, desire to campaign only online, and treatment of Green Party nominee Jill Stein, leading Sheehan to request that her name be taken off the Peace and Freedom Party ticket.
