Heritage takes aim at Ex-Im's backers

The Hill reports:
Officials at the conservative group Heritage Action are targeting Republican supporters of Rep. Stephen Fincher's (R-Tenn.) five-year reauthorization bill for the Export-Import Bank.

Heritage Action officials launched a telephone campaign on Wednesday, calling constituents in the districts of 31 Republican members who support Fincher's bill.

Tea Partyers, backed by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) and groups like Heritage Action, argue that the bank doles out "corporate welfare" and promotes "cronyism."
