Gotham Concerned Citizens Progress Report
Hello, Dent Believers!
It's been great to see the response from all of you! We knew that citizens of Gotham would rally behind Harvey Dent and you have! (It was inspiring to see some of you on TV!) Gotham citizens have come out to meet the Dentmobiles, many of them using the Dentmobiles as an opportunity to meet up with other Harvey Dent supporters in their neighborhoods and build this grassroots campaign.
The momentum is building!
There have been sporadic reports of rallies being broken up by police, which is disturbing. Does it indicate a bias on the part of the men in blue? A backlash against Harvey Dent because of his campaign to stop corruption?
Harvey Dent is expected to make his decision whether to run for Gotham District Attorney within days, and seeing all of you out there with your signs and banners can only tell him that Gotham needs him! Gotham is asking for change! That we believe in Harvey Dent!
Spread the word. Make an impression! And don't forget to check out the latest submissions at http://www.ibelieveinharveydent.com/youinaction.aspx. We've been told that Mr. Dent may be close to making a decision – so your efforts can make a difference!
Finally, don't forget to check http://www.ibelieveinharveydent.com/ontheroad.aspx to see if a Dentmobile is coming to a neighborhood near you this weekend.

Now, the real battle begins. We all must join together to make sure that Harvey Dent gets the chance to take back Gotham City from crime and corruption.

Smear campaign update
April 9, 2008
Campaign Update
A lot of things in a campaign look differently from the inside. Take the current media wildfire. Now, there's not a shred of evidence linking Harvey Dent to any questionable behavior. But the media is creating such a ruckus that from the outside, it's impossible to see anything else.
Well, I can tell all of you that the Dent campaign is still going strong. We're still committed to bringing Harvey Dent's message of change to every corner of this city.
Harvey Dent is not letting the smear campaign impact our campaign. He's continuing to do what a candidate does -- and he's continuing to lead the charge against the corruption that's destroying our city.
So rest assured -- this campaign is not over. Indeed, it has hardly begun. We WILL take Gotham back.

Press conference reminder
April 13, 2008
Live Press conference today (3:00 pm EDT)
Harvey Dent is committed to truth and honesty in governing. He is also committed to truth and honesty in campaigning. And the honest truth is that we've had a tough week.
Everyone who knows Harvey Dent knows that the vicious smears by a mysterious group calling itself "Concerned Citizens for a Better Gotham" are not true. Harvey Dent is innocent of these charges, and the truth will triumph.
Harvey Dent believes that the movement to take back Gotham is bigger than one person. It's never been about Harvey Dent. It's about our hopes for our city. It's about you.
Harvey Dent has always said that if he becomes a distraction from the bigger issues of the movement to fight crime and corruption, he'll make the best decision for the movement itself.
We've done a lot in the last few months. We've shown the city that we will not stop fighting against the dark forces that have Gotham in their grasp. We showed everyone that we do have power. That there is hope for Gotham City.
The I Believe in Harvey Dent campaign will be holding a press conference today at 3:00 pm (EDT). The audio will be streaming live at http://www.ibelieveinharveydent.com. Whatever Harvey Dent says, I know one thing – I'm proud of him. And I'm proud of all of you.
I still believe in Harvey Dent. Do you?

Post-"White Knight Incident"
April 24, 2008
Weekly Update
What a difference a week makes.
Last week, our campaign looked like it was on its last legs. The media was burying us, and urged us to withdraw for the sake of Gotham City. The smear campaign, with its vicious lies against Harvey Dent, spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt about the one man who can save Gotham.
But now - thanks to people like you - things look very different. Thousands of people gathered in the Dent for DA headquarters for its reopening. And I saw something different in the crowd. Something has changed. The "White Knight Incident," as it has become known, is allowing people to see Harvey Dent differently. Not just as a man with the guts and the toughness to change Gotham. But as a symbol of the best of Gotham City - a Gotham we almost forgot existed.
But that Gotham City does exist. It's a Gotham where ordinary people can walk out their door at night without fearing for their lives. It's a Gotham where the good can triumph over the evil. It's a Gotham where justice isn't just for the rich and powerful, but for everyone.
With your help, we'll bring back that vision of Gotham. On Election Day, everything changes. Harvey Dent will take back Gotham City - thanks to the hard work of people like you.
See you on election day!

Election
June 9, 2008
Only Days Away
It's been an incredible last few weeks. Ever since the vicious smear campaign collapsed and Harvey Dent's remarkable courage at the hostage crisis at Rossi's Deli, our campaign has ridden a wave of support I have never seen in all my political life.
Our Headquarters reopened and thousands of volunteers show up here every day, every night, fighting for change. Fundraising has reached incredible heights, with over 100,000 Gotham citizens contributing their hard-earned money in support of Harvey Dent's vow to take back Gotham.
We've expanded our reach, opening branches in neighborhoods that haven't seen political campaigns take them seriously for decades. And we've harnessed the incredible grassroots support by sending volunteers to knock on doors throughout the city. Amazingly, we will achieve our two millionth door knock sometime in between now and Election Day.
Harvey Dent has committed himself to lead the charge to take back our city, face down the criminal and corrupt and restore hope for our future.
Now, we need your help. We need to get out the vote!. And we need you to vote yourself. If you can't make it to the polls, go to http://www.gothamelectionboard.com and find out how you can vote online. Working together, we will take back Gotham!

June 13, 2008
Our Job Has Just Begun
If someone were to tell me four months ago that Harvey Dent was going to win by the biggest margin in Gotham City history, I would have directed him to Arkham Asylum. But that's the big story today. Thanks to the incredible efforts of people like you, we have changed the fate of Gotham City.
Harvey Dent won every precinct, every neighborhood, every demographic, and every gender and age group. His sweeping victory shows just how far the desire for real change goes in Gotham City.
This is not just Harvey Dent's victory, it's your victory. You passed out flyers, rallied, marched, created political videos, and got out and voted. You made your voices heard. And today, the entire world can hear you. Today, "Take Back Gotham" is not just a slogan - it is a reality.
This is the last campaign email we're sending out. Now, we turn our energies to the hard job of fighting and winning the war on crime and corruption. We'll need your help - to keep the pressure up on the politicians, to show the criminals our will, and to support Harvey Dent's crackdown on corruption.
Together, we will save Gotham City.
