• The United States exported a record-breaking $2.15 trillion worth of goods in the past year, thanks in part to the Export-Import Bank.

• From the Detroit News: “CEO: Ford can’t build enough vehicles to meet demand”

• Romney's successor in Massachusetts, Governor Deval Patrick, says Romney sold to his state the same failed policies he's selling to America now.

• Here’s a rundown on the clear choice between Romney and President Obama on education.

"Thanks to President Obama, I own my first home at the age of 38. The first-time homebuyer tax credit made this possible. I also thank the President for his commitment to the payroll tax cut. It means a lot to us 'little guys.' It's nice to have a President who understands what all Americans face every day."

—Nathan, South Carolina

Today is deadline day—and President Obama sent out an early message to supporters asking folks to chip in:

Think about this: Today, our opponent is facing the same fundraising deadline we are.

But the people I'm counting on at this crucial moment could not be more different.

He's relying on high-powered special-interest groups and a TV personality who's spent the last week questioning where I was born.

Our campaign is built by millions of ordinary Americans chipping in what they can, when they can.

Will you help out before midnight? Make a donation of $3 or more right now.

Thank you, as always.

"President Obama inspired me to be responsible and accountable for the decisions I make. I trust that everything he is doing is in the best interest of the people. He has done a great job and will continue to do more. I'm confident that one day I will say he gave me courage to change and make a difference in my own life. He dared to be different and cleaned up the mess he walked into."

When Mitt Romney ran for governor of Massachusetts, he said that with his private sector experience as a corporate buyout specialist, he was the only man for the job.

He had promised to balance the budget, to keep taxes low, to create jobs—but he didn't deliver. While the national economy was growing, Massachusetts fell from 36th to 47th out of 50 states in job creation.

Up until a few weeks ago, Brendan, a supporter in Seattle, hadn’t yet donated to this campaign. But on May 9th, he got inspired—and raised $2,335 from his friends and family in just 24 hours by starting a grassroots fundraising page.

“When I saw that President Obama stated his support for same-sex marriage, I just wanted to a send a message showing that I supported him,” Brendan says. “So I donated that very day.

“Then after donating, I saw that there was this new grassroots fundraising tool, so I created a page, uploaded my photo and my story, and encouraged my friends and family to send their own message of support for the President’s same-sex marriage announcement. More importantly, I reminded them that this campaign is going to be built by lots of small donors, while the other side will rely on fewer but bigger donors.

“I have a partner who I’ve been with for 24 years. We had a marriage ceremony 13 years ago, so we’ve been waiting for this for a while. Back when I was in law school, I used to work a lot on gay marriage issues. So not only was it personally meaningful to me and my partner, it was a historic event.

“This message resonated with a lot of people—and within 24 hours we got $2,400.

“Making a contribution to the Obama campaign is something that has a national impact. Even if I can’t give my own time in a big way, I can at least contribute—and send a strong message.”
