42 Republicans Conspire With Nancy Pelosi On Ex-Im Bank Manuver
ARRA News Service - As reported previously today, 42 House Republicans betrayed the American people and added their names to a discharge petition to revive the now-defunct Export-Import Bank.
Conservatives fought hard to ensure the Export-Import Bank was not reauthorized in June. These 42 members chose to side with President Obama and funnel corporate welfare to big government special interests.
What is a discharge petition? A discharge petition is a rarely used maneuver that allows lawmakers to bypass multiple committees and bring a bill saving the Export-Import Bank directly to the House floor for a vote.
Will it work? Today, these 42 Republicans joined with nearly every Democrat to secure 218 signatures and force a House vote later this month. There are still some legislative hoops to jump through, including Senate consideration which Mitch McConnell has ruled out.
What is next for the Export-Import Bank? Conservatives must continue to stay vigilant and fight all attempts to revive this corporate welfare program. It is also imperative Republicans stand firm and vote “NO” on any legislation that includes the Export-Import Bank.
