Congress has let the Export-Import Bank Expire. Sign Senator Sherrod Brown’s open letter to demand Congress renew it immediately.
To: Members of Congress
cc. Speaker John Boehner
cc. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
The Ex-Im bank exists to level the playing field for American businesses when competing in global markets.
In Fiscal Year 2014 alone, the Ex-Im Bank supported 164,000 jobs nationwide. About ninety percent of its transactions directly supported small businesses. And the bank operates at no cost to taxpayers — in fact, it generated $675 million for American taxpayers last year.
Despite its successes and historic bipartisan support, Tea Party members of Congress have allowed the Export-Import Bank to expire. This is an irresponsible move that must be corrected immediately.
I support efforts to renew the charter of the Export-Import Bank as soon as possible.
Signed,
[Your Name Here]
