The latest reports from 2003 indicate that developing countries owe ECAs more than the IMF and World Bank combined! Right now we have a once in five years chance to reform their practices.
As a leader on the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, your Senator will play a critical role in reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank -- and with your help we can make sure the committee holds the Bank accountable.
Call your Senator today at the capitol switch board (202) 224-3121and tell them we will not stand by while the Export-Import Bank lends for irresponsible projects.
After your call, please fill in the information below to let us know how it went.

Right now, the House and the Senate still have yet to agree on a federal budget for the rest of 2011 and are already beginning the same debate for the 2012 budget.
Though international assistance to low-income countries makes up a tiny fraction of the federal budget, our debt relief promises and other crucial investments for the poor are under threat.
Alternatives do exist. Cutting wasteful subsidies that harm the environment and closing tax loopholes for big corporations could save 150 times the cost of very modest investments in debt relief, food security, and climate preparedness.
Please ask your Members of Congress to prioritize vital anti-poverty programs today.

Take Action Now: Tell Congress to Stop Vulture Funds from Hurting Poor Countries
It's time to stop Vulture Funds from harming poor countries once and for all. Vulture Funds are predatory hedge funds that siphon off newly freed resources from debt cancellation. They profiteer off debt cancellation resources by buying up poor country debt in default at pennies on the dollar and use US Courts to sue for the full amount of the debt plus exorbitant interest rates and court fees. Instead of US tax dollars going to poverty alleviation projects like building schools and treating HIV/AIDS, they go into the bank accounts of greedy Vultures.
Please ask Congress to stop this behavior once and for all! Send a message to your House Representative telling him to co-sponsor the Stop Vulture Funds Act (HR 2932) to prevent further misuse of our courts in Vulture Fund cases against poor countries.
This week the US House of Representatives will vote on the Debt Relief for Earthquake Recovery in Haiti (HR4573) act introduced last month by Maxine Waters (D-CA).

Congress is using its power to make sure that the international community follows through on its word to cancel Haiti's debt.
Help support debt relief for Haiti today and make sure your Member of Congress also knows that even more impoverished nations need immediate debt cancellation.
Representatives Waters (D-CA) and Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) are asking their fellow Members of Congress to send a strong message to Treasury Secretary Geithner to cancel Haiti’s remaining debts.
Send a message here urging your Member of Congress to sign the letter and show support for Haiti's debt cancellation.
REMEMBER: Your letter will be more effective if add your own voice and edit the title and the content!
