We co-chair these quarterly meetings in both the House and Senate with the Tea Party Caucus chairman in both the House and Senate. Currently the House Tea Party Caucus chairperson is Michele Bachmann and the Senate Tea Party Caucus chairmen are Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee. Most of the major Tea Party organizations in the country such as Freedomworks, Tea Party Express, 60 Plus, Americans For Prosperity, Americans for Tax Reform and many more attend these caucus meetings that we co-chair with the Senate and House. The purpose of these meetings is a round table discussion where grassroots Tea Party organizations communicate the voices of "We The People" on policies that pertain to limited government, free markets and personal responsibility. This is where this organization is actually working with the true conservative members of Congress to help draft and advance legislation._3f510db8-777e-11e4-8913-7528b5ef98922014-11-28http://www.theteaparty.net/about-the-tea-party/OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
