Regina Ziegler initiated the controversially discussed Facebook campaign for the 2013 federal election, “Say Yes to Angela”, in which she stood up for Chancellor Angela Merkel. The site opened with the statement: “I am a swap voter. At each election, I look at the party's program and leadership team. I will vote for Angela Merkel on September 22, 2013. I hope you will too. ”From June 28th to August 26th, the campaign was advertised on a massive scale through purchased advertisements and gained over 20,000 fans. When the campaign was discontinued, the website was abruptly removed from the network.

Ziegler was one of the initiators of the rose campaign in 2016 to thank Angela Merkel for her asylum policy.
