The more everyone finds out about Mitt Romney's finances, the more questions they have. Perhaps that's why he's hiding as much as he thinks he can get away with.

Today, The Boston Globe reported that Romney was still running Bain Capital two years after he claims he left the firm, directly contradicting his campaign's denial that he was involved in deals that led to layoffs, bankruptcies, and American jobs getting shipped overseas.

It's a pattern of secrecy, and this is just the latest example of him trying to hide the truth from voters. There are a number of issues in play right now -- questions to which voters deserve answers:

1 Why won't Romney come clean about his taxes? He seems intent on being the first presidential nominee in over 30 years to keep his financial records hidden from the American people. Earlier this year, Governor Romney hedged when asked if he'd follow the precedent set by his own father, George Romney, and release multiple years of tax returns. After pressure from fellow Republicans, Romney released one year -- 2010 -- which raised many more questions that full disclosure would answer. Here's why that matters: Presidents make important decisions for this country, and Americans ought to know the motivations behind those decisions.

2 Who are the secret supporters raising millions for his campaign? I'm not talking about the shadowy outside groups -- I'm talking about the people in charge of raising money for Romney's campaign and the Republican Party. Romney refuses to reveal his fundraising "bundlers," something even George W. Bush did when he ran for president. Why is that important? Because we'd never know whether these "bundlers" were getting special consideration in decisions made in a Romney White House.

3 What's up with this corporation in Bermuda? One of the Romneys' assets revealed in his 2010 tax returns is a corporation that had previously been transferred to a blind trust the day before he took office as governor. The single year of taxes he's released shows that at some point it was moved back into Romney's sole ownership. What's going on? And, crucially, what's the purpose of having a corporation in a known tax haven like Bermuda in the first place?

4 Why did he have a Swiss bank account? Even his closest allies, like Republican House Speaker John Boehner, can't explain why any American running for president would have ever kept his money in a secretive Swiss bank account.

5 When exactly did he stop running Bain? Today's Globe story sheds light on the two years he now claims he wasn't running the firm. According to legal documents Mitt Romney signed and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, he was the sole owner, chairman of the board, CEO, and president of Bain Capital, drawing a salary as an executive until late 2001, and legally responsible for decisions the company made until that time. The Romney campaign denies this report is true, but the SEC documents with Gov. Romney's signature are hard to refute. If he was in charge, it means his role in deals that led to layoffs, bankruptcies, and outsourcing is much deeper than he has admitted to date.

Please forward this email and share this with everyone you know who cares about the outcome of this election.

Everyone deserves the right to judge for themselves whether Romney's motivations, experience, and perspective are what they want in a president. But Mitt Romney doesn't want people to have the information they need to make those judgments.

2 He won't disclose his "bundlers," the people raising millions for his campaign.

3 He is the sole owner of a questionable shell corporation in Bermuda.

4 Until recently, Romney kept cash in a Swiss bank account.

5 According to the Globe, he hasn't been honest about when he was running Bain Capital, even though legal documents refute his claims.

We got outraised last month, and not by a little bit.

Part Two of getting outraised is getting outspent. That translates

into a potentially devastating sweep of negative, misleading

messaging that's going to flood the airwaves in swing states --

over and over and over -- until November 6th. It's already started,

and it's only July.

How this election plays out will define our democracy: Can super

PACs and hundreds of millions of dollars from Republicans and

the Romney campaign -- through the brute force of negative advertising

alone -- drown out millions of voices?

Or can the politics of inclusivity -- asking supporters to chip in $X $X

$X at a time -- keep the margin close enough to win?

When we talk about Romney and the Republicans' $X million

fundraising edge in June, think about what that money means

in a practical sense.

It's an onslaught of negative ads, filled with distortions, smears,

and outright lies directed at voters in states like Virginia, Florida,

Ohio, and Colorado -- a nonstop stream of anti-Obama

propaganda.

We can't prevent these attacks. But we can make sure we have

the resources to fight back on the ground and on the air. That

starts by making sure the Romney fundraising advantage doesn't

get any worse.

Donate $X today to help close the fundraising gap:

We've seen it time and again from the Romney campaign.

During the primaries, in state after state, Romney and his allies

used their fundraising advantage like a club, bludgeoning

outspent opponents with attack ads. It worked then -- and you

can bet Romney and his friends are planning the same for us.

We're gearing up for it. Our ground game is second to none, and

we've got some pretty good ads of our own which frankly have a

better -- and more truthful -- message .

But with Romney raking in huge donations, we need to make sure

we have the resources to keep building our campaign and be

heard above the noise.

Don't let Romney pull further ahead. Donate today:

Obama - Biden

We know Romney and the Republicans are raising more money than we are. I want to talk about where it's all coming from.

Yesterday, for instance, it came from a fundraiser at Dick Cheney's mansion in Wyoming. He and Mitt Romney agree on a lot of things, after all: like the need for more tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires like them.

Last weekend, it was at the Koch estate in the Hamptons, where luxury vehicles lined the blocks and at least one guest lamented that the "common" person doesn't get it.

This is how Romney is raking in millions.

He's also got the super PACs, special interests, and anonymous donors spending millions on his behalf.

Don't let them define this race.

If you still believe that the grassroots should elect a president, then we need you to step up. Please donate $X or more today:

In case you missed this because you were paying attention to things of

actual importance:

The House Republicans voted for the 33rd time this week on whether we

should repeal or defund Obamacare.

That's 33 tallies for "killing" Obamacare, and zero for making sure

middle-class families don't see their taxes go up.

So I have a message for them, and I'm hoping you'll join me by adding your

name: "Guys, stop voting on Obamacare, and get back to

work."



They obviously can't stand the fact that they lost this fight. But dwelling

on it isn't going to get them anywhere the Senate won't vote on repeal,

and the President will veto anything like it.

There are so many things Republicans in Congress could be doing right now

to help create jobs starting with passing the President's bipartisan plan .

Join me and send the House Republicans a kind reminder to do their job:
