( CNN ) -- For conservatives conflicted over how to vote on a major measure Wednesday that would fund the federal government and authorize the President to arm Syrian rebels , their decision might have gotten a bit easier . The conservative group Club for Growth announced that it will not hold lawmakers accountable for their vote . The bill , which would fund the government until mid-December , includes an amendment to arm Syrian rebels to attack ISIS . Club for Growth informed members of Congress that the group is `` withdrawing its key vote '' because `` the ISIS language does not make this a revealing vote about economic policy . '' The group , which focuses on reducing government spending , keeps a scorecard of votes it deems important and uses it against members in re-election campaigns . With the Club removing its pressure on the spending portion of the bill , conservatives who went to Congress to reduce the size of government are free to vote their conscience on the ISIS provisions . House leaders lobby wavering colleagues ahead of ISIS vote . Some members of Congress have been pushing for a stand-alone vote on ISIS , insisting that the seriousness of the matter deserves its own debate . But Congressional leadership in both parties are reluctant to hold a critical vote so close to the midterm elections , therefore tying it to a measure to keep the government functioning past September 30 . Also part of Wednesday 's House vote is a measure to extend the authority of the Export-Import Bank , a small government agency that has sparked the ire of tea party conservatives for subsidizing U.S. businesses to conduct international trade . Conservatives have been elevating the Export-Import Bank vote for several months , but now that it is tied with the continuing resolution to fund the government and the ISIS vote , it has almost disappeared as an issue . While conservatives are complaining that no one is focused on the bank anymore , the ISIS component of the bill could help House Speaker John Boehner , who supports the bank 's extension , to pass it .
