Concerned Citizens for a Better Gotham March 30th, 2008

IBelieveIn​Har​vey​Dent​.com has updated with an “urgent announce­ment” con­cern­ing slan­der­ous remarks. Many elec­tion cam­paign par­tic­i­pants have had a phone call alert­ing them to this.

3/30 Urgent Announcement

Har­vey Dent rejects the slan­der­ous charges made by a shad­owy group of unknowns call­ing them­selves “Con­cerned Cit­i­zens for a Bet­ter Gotham.”

Har­vey Dent has always been truth­ful and upright in his pros­e­cu­tion of cor­rupt cops.

There is no truth to any of the charges put forth by the oper­a­tives behind this shame­less group.

Don’t lis­ten to the lies and innu­en­dos of the peo­ple who want to keep Gotham the way it is!

If you want real change in Gotham, join our move­ment to take Gotham back

News:

Meet Har­vey Dent! Har­vey Dent will be at a Town­hall Meet­ing to answer all
your ques­tions about how to take Gotham back! 3pm, April 1, Gotham
Com­mu­nity Cen­ter #12, Gainley

• Har­vey Dent accepted the endorse­ment of the Gotham Fire­fight­ers Asso­ci­a­tion
March 27. Thank you Gotham firefighters!

The 100th new vol­un­teer at Har­vey Dent Head­quar­ters this week will receive
a free din­ner with Har­vey Dent him­self!
So come on down!

This comes in response to the Con­cerned Cit­i­zens for a Bet­ter Gotham web­site, www​.ccfabg​.org. It is very much an anti Har­vey Dent cam­paign, with peti­tion (down­load) and video advert.

Ad text:

I know Har­vey Dent.
I worked with Har­vey Dent.
I did case after case with Har­vey Dent.
Har­vey Dent is no hero.
Har­vey Dent has not been hon­est
about the Gotham Police Depart­ment
Har­vey Dent lied to the court.
I know, I was there, I saw the whole thing.
Har­vey Dent is lynch­ing good cops
For head­lines and poll num­bers
He’s using money, threats, and black­mail
To get good men locked up.
Har­vey Dent is fram­ing good cops
for his own polit­i­cal pur­poses.
Har­vey Dent betrayed those cops.
He betrayed his office.
He dis­hon­ored this city, he most cer­tainly did.
Har­vey Dent can­not be trusted.

Update from the Joker

The Joker phones that came in the cakes have been ring­ing again, this comes from one of the “clowns left in” Vlkers54 via Hol­ly­wood Chicago:

“Hey clown, ready to get to work? (I replied “yes”.) Ok, good. You are 1 of 17 clowns still left in the game (remem­ber, there were 22 phones intially) I have a let­ter for you. Here is your secret letter..are you ready for it? Your secret let­ter is “L” as in “Laugh”. Can you remem­ber that? Good. Now get to work and tell all of your goons. We’ll be in touch soon.”

The let­ters cur­rently stand at:
W-E-Y-R-V-T-A-N-C-A-L-C-E-G — looks like it may include the word “Har­vey Dent”

Joseph Can­do­loro

I just noticed this name at the very bot­tom of the Con­cerned Cit­i­zens website,

“Joseph Can­do­loro, Esquire, is the founder of Con­cerned Cit­i­zens for a Bet­ter Gotham.”

Try­ing out the name yields this inter­est­ing web­site: www​.joseph​can​do​loro​.com –peo­ple may want to try out that email address and tele­phone number:

Joseph Can­do­loro and his asso­ciates pro­vide legal rep­re­sen­ta­tion in fam­ily law cases in Gotham. Our ser­vices are highly indi­vid­u­al­ized to address our clients’ par­tic­u­lar situations.

Fam­ily law lit­i­ga­tion is com­pli­cated by ties of blood and emo­tion, but we have devel­oped an arse­nal of tech­niques to cut through com­pli­ca­tions with sur­gi­cal pre­ci­sion, an approach that while it seems ruth­less, we feel causes the least long term dam­age. Our approach includes a per­son­al­ized attorney-client rela­tion­ship, based upon each client’s indi­vid­ual cir­cum­stances. We strive to be the voice of rea­son dur­ing a highly emo­tional time, and we work hard to set­tle mat­ters with­out lit­i­ga­tion when­ever possible.

When lit­i­ga­tion is unavoid­able, we are for­mi­da­ble advo­cates for the clients of our firm.
