The site

I believe in Harvey Dent is a political-themed webpage supporting Harvey Dent for the upcoming elections to elect a new Gotham DA.

May 17, 2007

Linked to by Thedarkknight.warnerbros.com, Ibelieveinharveydent.com features a poster for Harvey Dent's political campaign. The poster depicts Dent in front of an American flag with the caption:

It’s Harvey Dent’s challenge to Gotham. Show enough support for Dent's crusade for change and he’ll run for District Attorney. Gotham’s fate rests on us. It’s in our hands to take Gotham back.
Recruitment phone call

Participants who submitted a phone number with the earlier version of Ibelieveinharveydent.com also received a phone call from Harvey Dent. A high quality MP3 file of the call (received by people who did not pick up the first time) is now available here.

Hello. I'm Harvey Dent, Assistant District Attorney of Gotham City. I'm calling to ask for your support. We all know what's wrong with Gotham. Crime is out of control, and instead of protecting our streets, too many cops have become criminals themselves. This is why my mission has been to stamp out police corruption. And this is why I'm considering a run for District Attorney. But I can't do it alone. I need to know if you, the people of Gotham, want change. Do you want a Gotham free from the grip of criminals and the corrupt? Are you ready to join a crusade to take back our city? If this is a change you desire, if you're fed up with living in fear, go to Ibelieveinharveydent.com and see how you can join the struggle to take back our city. I'm ready to fight for Gotham, if you are ready to fight too.

What to do

Show your support for Harvey Dent!

Gotham City is collapsing from a runaway crime wave and Harvey Dent can save it. But he has to run for District Attorney first, and the only way he'll run is if he sees an outpouring of public support. So, let's all get out there and show Harvey Dent he's got support to take back Gotham! Let's get those videos and pics coming!

We can do anything -- the bigger and more creative, the better. Here are a few creative examples that you can take photos and videos of:


• Get your friends together and spell out Harvey Dent in human letters

• Get a video of your school’s cheerleading team yelling out chants for Harvey Dent

• Try to cover every square inch of someone’s cubicle area with Harvey Dent posters

• Write and perform a “Take Back Gotham” song

• Make up a “Dent Dance” routine

• See if you can get up a Harvey Dent sign in every single window of your dorm building

• Turn your own car into a “Dentmobile”

• Arrange a Dent parade down Main Street

• Make a human pyramid with other Harvey Dent supporters


Be creative. Harvey Dent wants to see that we want change -- and that we are ready to work for change. Harvey wants to see that people are ready to throw out the old, to break out of habits, to really do something new and different! Because that's what taking back Gotham will take.

We'll feature the best examples of great videos and pics on the site.

The future of Gotham City is in our hands now, people! Let's get out there and make some noise!

Make your vote count!

Citizens of Gotham can make a difference!
Don't end up in the wrong polling place! Check your district!

Voterregistrationback.jpg


Dear Gotham Voter,

Last year, Gotham City voters approved a redistricting proposal that increased the number of districts in the city from 21 to 24. This voter registration letter includes information on the new district and informs voters of the district in which they currently reside.

This voter registration card replaces and supercedes all previously issued cards and lists your current name, address, township, district, and polling place.

Please review your card carefully to ensure all the information is accurate. Should there be any errors, please contact Gotham City Election Board. Please help us clean up the voter registration files.

Voting is the right and responsibility of all citizens. It is my privilege to help Gotham City voters exercise this most prized right.

Myron V. Goranger
Gotham City Clerk

Numerous people who are affiliated with ARG-related forums, companies, and websites are receiving a FedEx package containing a folder with various Ibelieveinharveydent.com campaign materials and a letter:

"DENTMOBILE" BRINGS MOVEMENT TO DRAFT HARVEY DENT FOR GOTHAM CITY DA TO YOUR CITY!

Cross-Country Tour of Campaign Bus Continues as Thousands of Dent Supporters March, Rally For The One Man Who Can Save Gotham!

Runaway crime and police corruption in Gotham City has spawned a grassroots campaign to convince mob-busting prosecutor Harvey Dent to run for District Attorney. The movement to take Gotham back rolls into a location near you with the arrival of the "Dentmobile" stocked with t-shirts, buttons, flyers, and posters.

"I lost my beautiful daughter to mob violence, and I swore I would do something to prevent other families going thru that kind of hell," said John Tortericci, leader of the grassroots campaign. "Harvey Dent is the one man who can save Gotham, and we have to show him we are ready for change," said Tortericci.

Dent's courageous prosecutions of mob-linked cops within the city's police department has given hope back to a city devastated by rising crime and the aftermath of the Narrows Attack.

Dent's challenge to Gotham to show their hunger for change has been met with a city-wide explosion of activism, with thousands of supporters organizing rallies, meet-ups, petition drives, and posting signs and placards in every neighborhood. Photos and videos of the displays of support are on the online campaign site Ibelieveinharveydent.com.

"This is our last chance, said Laverne DeFaliano, a Gotham mother of four who has been following the Dentmobile in her Chevy station wagon the entire trip. "Unless we can convince Harvey Dent to run for District Attorney, the mobsters and thugs will take over this city and bleed it dry."

Dent is expected to make a decision on whether to run for Gotham District Attorney within weeks. The election will be held in June.

A new email was received by Harvey Dent supporters, from I Believe in Harvey Dent <takebackourcity@ibelieveinharveydent.com>

Gotham Concerned Citizens Progress Report

Image001.jpg

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.

Take Back Gotham!
