Gotham Voter Survey April 18th, 2008, posted by FofR

I recently got a call to my cell phone, via the number I submitted to the Acme Security Systems website, asking me to take part in a Gotham Voters Survey. The call asks your opinions about Harvey Dent with a rating of 0-9 for each question, they are very probing questions and ask how Harvey’s mental state, failure to file tax returns and links to organised crime affect your view of him.

At the end of the call they provide a number to give to friends if they wish to take part - 8777776197.

This corresponds with an update on CCFABG,

Message from the Webmaster:

You may be wondering why I haven’t updated this site recently. Well, you wouldn’t either, if you were facing legal actions like slander charges and defamation of character accusations.

I can’t afford to get sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars, especially now that everyone who supported this site is “unavailable” or “can’t remember” they had anything to do with the site.

If I weren’t waiting for my last paycheck, I’d go on a little “vacation” myself. In fact, if you don’t get any more updates from me in the next few days, it means I did just that.

This whole smear campaign has been a real SOURCE of consternation for me. I’ll be glad when it’s all in the past. And you know what? I just might vote for Harvey Dent.

William Bucksworth-Haven, Webmaster Extraordinaire

In the source code for the page is this comment:

<!-- <ACCESS: 164938> -->

Which, when entered as answers on the survey reveal a secret message.

Edmund has also sent in this message (thanks!) that he received from Jim Gordon (jim.gordon@gpdmcu.com):

My friend,
Indictments are about to be handed down. If you don’t want your name on one, we’ll need your full cooperation in an upcoming operation.

In case you haven’t heard, we are struggling with a bit of corruption in the department. I’m not about to let the Gotham PD collapse in on itself, so we’re taking action. We’ve identified a group of offenders that need to be apprehended. Problem is, most of these cops are hightailing it out of the city. But a C.I. just like you just gave us some information on their last known whereabouts. Now all we need is to catch them. This is where you come in.

Consider yourself on deck. I’ll contact you next week, and let’s just say it’s in your best interest to play along. County’s not a place you want to spend the rest of your life.

Conference Cancelled, Hostage Episode Ensues April 13th, 2008, posted by FofR

From the Harvey Dent website,

Today’s press conference was unexpectedly cancelled due to a hostage crisis located at a nearby deli. In a selfless move, Mr. Dent entered the premises, exchanged himself for a woman who was being held at gunpoint, and negotiated the successful release of the remaining patrons in the restaurant. Watch this site for updates. We will release more details when they become available.

Download the MP3 Audio of the situation

The hostage situation was instigated by desperate cop, Frank Notaro, he takes a woman hostage before requesting witness protection for him and his family. Harvey Dent exchanges himself for the woman before Notaro is arrested.

This all took place at Rossi’s Deli - Notaro’s madness was tripped in the event of seeing his partners (Cisneros) death in a car explosion, also killing his entire family - all whilst leaving a message on Rossi’s answer phone. Download the voicemail message and listen to the scene

For some back story on Frank Notaro I recommend reading our coverage.

Glenn Barhyte’s email, accessible through the security pages at Gotham Police, has two new messages from Frank:

Deal’s Off
I saw it. With my own eyes. Best partner I ever had. Dead. What the hell’s going on?

Thank’s For Nothin
Looks like you’re out having breakfast or something. I knew I couldn’t trust IA to keep my family safe. I’m going to Rossi’s Deli to take care of Condoloro myself, don’t try to stop me.

Live & Streamed Harvey Dent Press Conference, Sunday 3pm (EDT) April 10th, 2008, posted by FofR

I Believe in Harvey Dent has updated, there will be a LIVE event:

4/9 PRESS CONFERENCE TO BE STREAMED LIVE ON SUNDAY APRIL 13TH AT 3:00 PM (EDT).

Harvey Dent realizes that the slanderous and untrue charges trumped up by a mysterious group never seen before in Gotham politics has distracted from the real issues facing Gotham - how to make our city safe again and fight the crime and corruption that is endangering our future. I Believe In Harvey Dent will hold a press conference on Sunday, April 13th at 3:00 pm (EDT) for an important announcement regarding the campaign. The audio of this event will be streamed live on this website.

CLARIFICATION The Gotham Machinists Union has not “withdrawn their endorsement” of Harvey Dent for DA. Their spokesmen clarified that the endorsement has merely been “suspended” for the time being. The Harvey Dent campaign looks forward to the continued support of the Gotham Machinists Union.

DONUT SUPPLIER NEEDED The Harvey Dent campaign lives and breathes off its volunteer crew. Hundreds of Gotham citizens have joined the campaign to change our city. But this week, our donut donor stopped donating donuts to us. And as anyone who has worked on a campaign knows, if the volunteers are the life’s blood of a campaign, then donuts are the life’s blood of the volunteers. If any of you know of a donut donor who would like to get involved in the campaign to take Gotham back, please have them contact the campaign. Thank you.

Thanks to Bryan and Will for sending this in so quickly.

Thanks Jackie Chavez!

Harvey Dent Campaign Packages March 31st, 2008, posted by FofR

I thought I would split out the Harvey Dent related viral news to a new post, save everything from getting too congested as the news keeps coming. It seems that those signed up to participate in the campaign have started to receive their rewards in the post,

SHH User Anita18 received a Gotham City voter’s card in the post:

Others have received the latest issue of The Gotham Times. A lucky few have also had some interesting Harvey Dent promotion buttons, with one side melted or burnt away (alas Two Face) - sent via the Concerned Citizens For A Better Gotham (pictures thanks to Marvel152):

The Viral Adventure Continues… March 31st, 2008, posted by FofR

We’ve had some more viral news submitted to us in the past 24 hours, let’s see what else we have…

Joseph Candoloro

First up, emails that were sent to Mr Joseph Candoloro were met with this reply,

Your business is important to us. Mr. Candoloro sees the law as something that should work FOR people, not against them. We’re excited about talking to you about how we can help you, so please call our offices during regular business hours.

Continuing with this theme, from the record found at St Swithuns, Mr. Candoloro married one Angela Rossi, Bryan Gray has pointed out that entering “Al Rossi” or “Randolfo Rossi” into the record search leads us to Albert Rossi’s (a witness at the marriage) Baptism certificate. (Randolfo Rossi is the father of Albert Rossi).

Through some clever detective work the Rossi trend continues. Rossi’s Deli which was the original meeting place of the “Citizens for Batman“, DarkxXxPixie at unforums found the website, Rossi’s Delicatessen - www.rossisdelicatessen.com:

Gotham City Clerk

Pierre has also informed me of Gotham City Clerk website - www.gothamcityclerk.com, which bears some informational messages but most importantly a website for another DA candidate.

Please excuse the inconvenience, as we are currently rebuilding our website and file system after server damage due to the recent Orange Line destruction. We hope to be back online serving Gotham City very soon.

Forms and applications for the following services are still available at our N. 6th St. offices: Parking permits, business licenses, dog licenses, festival/block party/raffle/bazaar permits, nightclub licenses, oath of office forms, operator licenses, retail licenses, liquor licenses, street vendor licenses, medical registration forms, notice of claim forms, and garage sale permits.

The Gotham City Clerk announces approval for extensive absentee voter support in the upcoming municipal election. Once the system is in place, we will post details and procedures for both online and mail-in absentee balloting.

Trust Garcetti

That candidate is Roger Garcetti and his campaign website is - www.trustgarcetti.com. This comes with some new promotional buttons to promote Mr Garcetti, an email address to volunteer - “volunteers@trustgarcetti.com” and under the Who is Garcetti we find this - what are the chances that these lead to further sites?

The Gotham Fraternal Order of Police says, “Garcetti has the
experience, and partners with police to stop crime.”

The Gotham Police Union says “Roger Garcetti has the integrity,
the toughness, and the judgement to lead and win the war against crime.”

The Italian Heritage Society of Gotham says, “Roger Garcetti’s
dedication and loyalty make him the candidate to trust.”

3/30 BREAKING NEWS: ACTING DISTRICT ATTORNEY ROGER GARCETTI

ISSUES STATEMENT ON CHARGES AGAINST HARVEY DENT

“The charges made by some of Gotham’s finest police officers against Harvey Dent are extremely serious. These brave men in blue have stood up against Harvey Dent’s intimidations and the tsunami of positive press Harvey Dent has been reaping to tell their story. It is an astounding act of courage, and I commend them all for having the guts to tell the truth to the Gotham public. I salute each and every one of them.

These police officers are some of the finest we have. Many have received medals for bravery on duty. All of them place their lives at risk every day to protect you and me.

It was always obvious that Harvey Dent’s mad lust for power was corrupting his prosecutions. Now, we have proof. Affidavits and testimony by police officers that Harvey Dent threatened and bribed police officers to entice them to testify against their innocent brothers on the force.

It is time to end the sorry chapter that Harvey Dent has forced upon the Gotham people. I expect his resignation from his job and his withdrawal from the race, if he has any honor at all left.”

Acting District Attorney Roger Garcetti

Trust Garcetti 

We stand at a crossroads in Gotham. Ours is a city of great character, with unlimited potential and a creative, diverse, and hard-working families.

But Gotham faces a critical problem — growing crime. To take on the problem of crime, we need experienced leaders that target mobsters, thugs, and killers — not the people who are sworn to protect us. If I’m elected District Attorney, I’ll give the police the tools they need to fight crime — because that’s how we’re going to make our streets safe.

Every day I work hand in hand with the real heros of Gotham — our brave men in blue. Gotham cops are some of the finest men I’ve ever had the honor to know. Every day, they put their life on the line to protect this city. They risk their lives because they believe in justice, in law, in order.

And that’s why the Gotham Police Union has endorsed me, Roger Garcetti. They’ve come to know me very well in my time in Gotham. I’ve always supported the police in every way possible. And now, when they are under attack by a “runaway prosecutor,” they’ve turned to me once again. In their endorsement, they said, “Roger Garcetti has the integrity, the toughness, and the judgement to lead and win the war against crime. He is the best friend police have ever had, and we endorse him strongly.”

I am honored to have the support of Gotham police officers. They are the best people to answer the question, “Who will make our city safer?” And the answer is me, Roger Garcetti.

Vote for me, and I will protect all the people of Gotham.

Thank you.
