FOXNews.com - Steele Meets With Tea Party Leaders at RNC Headquarters: "Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele sat down with about 50 Tea Party leaders Tuesday in the first such meeting of Republican Party and the growing conservative movement -- two sides that could be either vital partners or bitter rivals.
The meeting was part of a broader effort by national Republicans to reach out to Tea Party activists rather than risk their hand-picked candidates being run over by the movement.
“For over a year, I have made it a priority to have conversations with different grassroots activists who are concerned with the direction of our country and today’s meeting was an excellent opportunity to continue this conversation,' Steele said in a statement after the meeting. 'We share a common purpose in stopping President Obama’s agenda and standing up for principles such as smaller government, lower taxes, free enterprise, and the constitution.'
He said that as they move into the midterm elections this fall, he looks forward to continuing to build on their discussion and to work to elect officials who 'will fight to protect the principles which they and a majority of Americans support.”
Tea Party activists emphatically shouted 'No' when asked if they are now loyal Republicans after the meeting."
