FreedomWorks Activists to Protest Cochran’s Support of the Export-Import Bank

WHAT: A group of Mississippi FreedomWorks activists will protest Sen. Thad Cochran’s support of the Export-Import Bank at two of his district offices on Tuesday, August 19. Senator Cochran supports the re-authorization of the Ex-Im bank and the wasting of billions in taxpayer dollars.

WHEN: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 beginning at 10:00am CT.

WHERE: Two locations: 190 East Capitol Street, Jackson, MS 39201; and 911 East Jackson Ave., Suite 249, Oxford, MS 38655.

WHY: The Export-Import Bank has spent billions of taxpayer dollars taking care of Washington special interests. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reports the bank will cost $2 billion. It’s time to let the Ex-Im bank expire and end this wasteful expenditure in Washington, DC.
