On September 11, 2001 Rosa's life would change forever. Her sister's husband, Lt. Joseph Gullickson, of FDNY Ladder 101 was to be one of the first to respond to the World Trade Center call. By the end of that dismal day her sister was without a husband and her nieces without a father. Two months after September 11th on November 12, 2001, Flight 587 crashed in Belle Harbor (Far Rockaway, NY) with her father on board. Soon, speculation about the demise of that flight surfaced and this uncertainty catapulted her to become politically active!

During the past eight years Rosa has joined the Republican Party in Hackensack where she worked on the George W. Bush re-election campaign. Along the way, she has supported the efforts of many, including: Steve Lonegan, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Sarah Palin.

After the election of President Barack Obama, Rosa became involved with the conservative women's organization, Smart Girl Politics. Today she is the NJ State Coordinator for the group and part of their Fiscal Committee.
