End the Ex-Im Bank

FreedomWorks

Top Ten Reasons to Let the Export-Import Bank Expire
 - by Josh Withrow

1. It Has Outlived Its Purpose The Ex-Im Bank was founded 80 years ago by FDR to promote U.S. manufacturing during the Great Depression. Meanwhile, in the 2010s, U.S. exports have been setting record highs – they don’t need government help.

2. It Lets Government Pick Winners and Losers Although Ex-Im claims to pick its recipients in a neutral manner, the reality is that political pressures strongly affect who receives its financial backing. For example, in 2009 the Obama administration gave Ex-Im a “green energy” quota for a portion of its loans.

3. Its Risky Loans Put it in Danger of Needing Taxpayer Bailouts The Ex-Im Bank’s purpose is specifically to promote exports by guaranteeing companies loans that are not in competition with the free market. But if these companies can’t get loans on the free market, that means that they are inherently riskier than private lenders are willing to accept, with taxpayers on the hook if they fail. Ex-Im already needed a bailout once, in 1987, and with a history of making loans to companies like Solyndra it could happen again. Read more here...

Does Mary Landrieu Really Live in Her Parents Basement to Maintain Louisiana Residency Requirement
- by Tom Borelli

One of the hallmarks of the political elite is being disconnected from their constituents. The more time they spend in Washington, D.C. the wider the gap between their priorities and the concerns of their constituents.

One sure sign of an elected official’s detachment is when they get mired in a controversy over their home state residence.

Astonishingly, Senators of both political parties have been challenged over where they really live. Read more here...

Republican Dave Brat secured his second endorsement in two days from a leading national conservative advocacy group, with FreedomWorks for America lauding him Wednesday as a “liberty candidate” in the race to replace former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

“In order to preserve the economy for future generations, we need people in Washington who actually understand how the economy works,” said FreedomWorks president Matt Kibbe. “Dave Brat is a liberty candidate who pledges to fight Common Core, defund ObamaCare, audit the Federal Reserve, protect civil liberties, and return power back to the states in every way possible.” Read more here...

Can You Solve These Common Core Math Problems
- by Julie Borowski

A few months ago, comedian Louis C.K. tweeted his frustrations about Common Core while attempting to help his kids with their math homework.

He gained a lot of praise for his remarks (and some criticism) for his remarks. People from across the political spectrum have concerns about the new educational standards. Here at FreedomWorks, we often hear from parents who are fed up with the math homework that their children are bringing home.

To give everyone an idea, here are some examples of Common Core math problems. Read more here...

FWD: Hey Robert

FreedomWorks

Robert, Senator Mike Lee is absolutely right about Common Core. 

I’m the FreedomWorks Western States Coordinator, but more importantly I have four children, and I love them more than anything in the world. Their future and their education mean everything to me.

There is nothing I wouldn’t do for my kids. And that’s why I’m proud to stand with Mike Lee and ask for your help to end Common Core. Robert, I’m scared. I’m scared for my children, and I’m scared for their future. I’m reaching out for help because I can’t do this alone.

That’s why I need your support to make this Common Core’s last school year!

The federal takeover of education is real. I see it every single day. I see it in my children’s homework. I see it in their faces. I see it in their spirits. Robert, the Progressives are coming for our kids with Common Core. Senator Lee is right. Common Core is the ObamaCare of education.

That’s why we’re working hard to stop it. I know we can win this fight, but only with you on board. Robert, will you help save the next generation and STOP Common Core by donating $5 right now?

Hope isn’t lost.  As the Western States Coordinator with FreedomWorks I see the passion and courage of parents and activists fighting every day. In just the last year we have repealed Common Core in multiple states, and public perception has shifted to our side. Robert, we are making huge strides!

Sen. Lee is correct. The time to end Common Core is now! We are on the offensive, and we can’t let up! The fight is now. If FreedomWorks can reach their goal of $250k they can equip parents and activists like me with the tools we need to beat back the Progressives! Please help if you can.

In Liberty,

Heather Williamson
Western States Coordinator, FreedomWorks

P.S. Make sure you read Senator Lee’s email below if you haven’t gotten a chance.


Robert, it’s time to end Common Core.

As a U.S. Senator, I’ve seen the federal government make a mess of everything it touches. And if they’re allowed to stay, Common Core standards will be the ObamaCare of education.

Common Core is the DC takeover of our school system. It will dumb down standards and cheapen the education our children receive. But my friends at FreedomWorks are fighting back – their activists are working around-the-clock to take back their local schools.

Just this year, Common Core was repealed in Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Missouri thanks to the hard work of grassroots activists.

I stand with FreedomWorks and grassroots Americans against Common Core. And I’ve seen their plan to make this Common Core’s last school year. But if they’re going to kick it off, they need to raise $250k in the next 7 days. I stand with them. And Robert, I need YOU to join me.

Will you donate $5 to stop Common Core?

As a father of three, the last thing I want for my kids is a one-size-fits-all education system created in Washington. My kids deserve better. Your kids deserve better. They deserve the best education in the world. And the only way we can make that happen is to repeal Common Core across America.

There’s nothing more powerful in America than dedicated parents coming together to create a better future for their children. That’s why moms and dads are getting active, speaking out at their local school boards, and kicking Common Core out of the classroom. FreedomWorks is mobilizing this incredible energy and they plan to defeat the education takeover.

Robert, I’m asking you to help FreedomWorks defeat Common Core with a donation of $5.

When it comes to education, the future of our country is on the line. The next generation of Americans doesn’t need to be force-fed big government propaganda in the classroom. They should be learning real American history, and why our sacred heritage makes this the greatest nation in the world.

Common Core does away with that. That’s why it must be stopped.

We are running out of time to make Common Core history. Activists need the tools to win this year. And you can play a big part in saving our children from another big government disaster.

Please join me in the fight to end Common Core by donating $5 today.

In Liberty,

Senator Mike Lee

Save Our Healthcare: Stand with Dr. Ben Carson
Dear American,

You probably know the Republican Party has a very good chance of winning control of the U.S. Senate this November.

But here’s my question for you:

If we, the American people, loan them power without making it clear what we’d like them to do, then what’s the point?

Earlier this year, I helped launch American Legacy PAC's Save Our Healthcare Project with two simple goals - to build support for a series of patient-centered reforms to replace Obamacare, and help elect new leaders this November who share our vision.
Over 350,000 Americans from all 50 states have now signed our national petition, and key candidates in some of this year’s most important races are now signing on as well.

November is right around the corner, and I need your help to continue building this groundswell.

Please sign our national petition to Save Our Healthcare right now and make a secure contribution to help us recruit the next 350,000 people.

I believe Obamacare will be the defining issue of this election, but we must do more than just oppose it. We must also rally the American people around new and better alternatives.

We have an opportunity between now and Election Day to make our position crystal clear to every single candidate running for office - Obamacare is doomed to failure and we must begin working to replace it now.

Every day that we don’t, its roots grow deeper and more permanent.

Please join me now by signing our national petition to Save Our Healthcare, and make a contribution to help us continue reaching out to every American.

Together, we can ensure the American people are back in the driver's seat.

Thank you.
 
Dr. Ben Carson
Chairman, Save Our Healthcare
