Please support Export Import Bank tea party trying to destroy

just heard from son that works there 50 50 chance of surviving in Sept

Please support and go below and sign letter to your congressman. Export Import Bank has TINY staff yet made nearly 1 billion revenue last year for federal govt giving loans to small US manufacturers to export goods that big banks consider too risky. New CA majority leader has made it his issue to deny them renewal in Sept despite approving for last two terms (and has been doing business since 1934). Repubs now jumping on board and when asked if jobs will be lost say "I don't know" Granted my son is on staff but it has made me realize what an asset this bank is. Have never been a fan of chamber of commerce but when the repubs are against them that says something. They will not give out your email address

But this needs a K&R. Saving the E/I Bank is kind of one of those things that everybody should support unless they're in favor of crashing the economy...there's no good reason to end the E/I B.
