Hello Friends & Supporters,
On Wednesday, I was informed that numerous campaign signs of mine were stolen from my supporters' properties. Police are investigating. I ask you to please refrain from doing any such actions in retaliation to my opponent, Rep. Eachus's campaign materials. Such actio...ns are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
The recent stealing of yard signs is an obvious attempt to silence me in my campaign, however, we cannot be intimidated. I would ask that you help me stand up against political corruption and put a sign in your yard. Please contact me and I will have a sign delivered immediately.
Thank you for all of your support.
We Deserve Better!
Tarah

Toohil Campaign Signs STOLEN!
Reprinted from Standard Speaker Newspaper 8/13/10
Someone has been stealing campaign signs off the property of Butler Township residents who support Tara Toohil in her campaign for election to the state House of Representatives in the 116th Legislative District.
Toohil, a Hazleton area attorney, is a Republican candidate for the house seat currently held by Democrat Todd Eachus.
In a letter hand-delivered Thursday to Eachus' local office in downtown Hazleton, Toohil asked the legislator to let his supporters know that theft of campaign signs is criminal.
"All I ask is that you reach out to your supporters to inform them that such behavior is un-American, unacceptable and criminal," Toohil wrote.
Toohil said she does not believe Eachus or his staff are the culprits.
"I am certain that neither you, nor your staff or campaign staff would ever engage in such acts. I, in no way, am accusing you of stealing these signs," Toohil wrote.
After learning of Toohil's letter, Eachus' campaign spokesperson Dave Georges said the legislator is opposed to every type of crime and he bristled at the suggestion that an Eachus supporter would commit such an act.
"Any type of vandalism is a crime and Representative Eachus would never tolerate this type of behavior from anyone," Georges said.
"I would suggest Ms. Toohil make sure she has evidence before she makes an accusation," he added.
According to the letter, Toohil said she was informed Wednesday that "many" of her campaign signs were stolen from supporters' properties.
The Butler Township Police Department has been notified and is investigating these thefts, Toohil said.
"I am confident these perpetrators will be brought to justice because four of the missing and vandalized signs were later found and taken into evidence," Toohil wrote.
Butler Township Police Chief Charles Altmiller confirmed Thursday that the theft complaint was received, and that police found a number of the stolen signs.
Altmiller said the signs were found "pitched in the woods close to where they were taken."
Altmiller said the police department is working to collect fingerprints off the recovered signs.
In addition to asking Eachus to reach out to his supporters to inform them that such behavior is unacceptable and criminal, Toohil said she has sent message to her own supporters informing them that any similar action taken against the Eachus campaign materials will not be tolerated.

TOOHIL REACHED BENCHMARK 2,500 Doors
Hazleton, PA- Candidate for State Representative, Tarah Toohil has knocked on over 2,500 doors and plans to reach another 7,500 households before the General Election on November 2nd, 2010. Toohil is running a grassroots campaign that consists of visiting constituents at their homes in order to communicate her message. Toohil is concerned with bringing more jobs to the area, reducing property taxes, and working to better our schools.
"Voters have been very receptive and are ready for new representation down in Harrisburg. People in our community are hoping to put a fresh face into office because they are fed up with politics as usual," stated Toohil.
People also want to talk about the corruption in the legislature. People want to know why the local media isn't reporting more on these issues. Toohil's response is that she "will work to eliminate unethical practices and restore honesty and transparency in government."
