The site

Ccfabg.org is the website of Concerned Citizens for A Better Gotham, an anti-Harvey Dent group. It was found on March 30, 2008, when Harvey Dent called his supporters asking for help counteracting the rumors started by a "group of malevolent individuals."

The page contains an attack ad where GPD officers accuse Dent of getting innocent officers arrested to gain media publicity. (The .swf file of the attack ad can be downloaded from Zshare here.)

CONCERNED CITIZENS FOR A BETTER GOTHAM

WHO IS HARVEY DENT?

HARVEY DENT IS A CORRUPT, MEDIA CRAZED INQUISITOR WHO IS BETRAYING HIS DUTY TO THE PUBLIC BY SENDING INNOCENT COPS TO JAIL.

NEWS:

Eight Cops Unmask Harvey Dent As Corrupt, Out of Control Prosecutor

Eight Gotham police officers stood up for the truth today at a morning press conference at Gotham’s Hotel Internationale. One by one, the police officers took the podium and told their story. Their devastating testimony showed that Dent is a dishonest, corrupt, out-of-control prosecutor who threatened police officers in order to get them to testify against innocent cops who Dent wanted in jail. Francis Notaro, Sergeant, told the press corps that Dent had offered him money to testify against an innocent cop, Jimmy Scaliano.

WHAT IS CONCERNED CITIZENS FOR A BETTER GOTHAM?

We are a group of over 100 concerned businessmen, police officers, and residents who work tirelessly for a better Gotham city. We believe in strong values, strong families, and clean government. We believe that to fight crime, we must support our brave police department, which is under attack in the streets by thugs and in the courts by corrupt prosecutors. We contribute our time and money to fight to improve our city for all of its citizens.

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

UPDATE:

These last couple weeks have been incredible times here at Concerned Citizens for A Better Gotham. We are incredibly touched by all the support we are receiving from Gotham citizens who are sick and tired of the vicious witch-hunt and campaign of lies against our brave men in blue. We want to tell everyone out there: We will continue to speak the truth. We will continue to defy the powerful hand of Dent and his media allies. And we will continue to defend the honor of all the Gotham cops that have been stained by Dent’s evil works.

Thanks, and Keep The Faith.

I worked with Harvey Dent.

Harvey Dent is no hero.

Harvey Dent asked me to lie
On the stand
In Court
Against another Cop

Harvey Dent offered me
Cash money to lie

So he could wrongfully convict
A good man, a great cop.

When I refused, Harvey Dent
Said he'd go after me next.

Harvey Dent is a liar. He's
corrupt.

And he's ruining the
Gotham Police Department in a
mad quest for political power.

Harvey Dent cannot be trusted.

4/13 UPDATE:

One of the most incredible parts about being the founder of Concerned Citizens for a Better Gotham was meeting the incredible police officers who joined up. This message is for them.

To do what they did – to speak truth to power – took guts. People like Frank Notaro, an officer who stood up to the powerful and the elites, who stood up to Harvey Dent's machine of intimidation and brutality, showed an incredible courage. An incredible braveness. They knew that they would be attacked viciously. Their motives questioned. But they knew that they had to speak out.

Now, the backlash against them may be violent. It may be brutal. But each man knows his duty. Each man knows what he must do for his honor. That's why Concerned Citizens for A Better Gotham was founded. Honor.

Thanks, and Keep the Faith

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.

As Operation Slipknot threatened the escape of the officers, a new message was added to the source code:

<!-- <gih compromised avoid at all costs proceed gateways asap> -->

(The "gih" refers to the Gotham Intercontinental Hotel, where the officers were staying before their departure.)
