Bring Back Caffè al Teatro RistoranteMyself and past students that have studied at the Prato campus found a warm and welcoming home at Caffè al Teatro Ristorante. They were amazing to us and provided us with not only great Italian food but also a wonderful Italian experience. They catered to our every need without any hesitations and did all they could to make our semester a great one without asking for anything in return. At UNH we consider each other family and at the university we take care of our family members. Caffè al Teatro is family and they should be treated like it!84 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Lanzetta

16yr old boy's scrotum ripped by police during pat down. Female police officer should be FIRED!A 16-year-old charter school student says he was roughed up by Philadelphia Police so bad it sent him to the hospital-with possible injuries that could last a lifetime. We want to warn you some of the details of this story are graphic. 16-year-old Darrin Manning is still having trouble walking a week later. He suffered serious injuries to his genitals. He claims came at the hands of a Philadelphia Police officer during a recent arrest. "I think that was wrong. I think that was going overboard," Manning said. Manning, a sophomore at Mathematics, Civics and Charter School had just got off the subway with a dozen team mates in uniform on their way to play a high school basketball game. He says the group was confronted by police at broad and Girard. Exactly why the students were stopped and questioned is still unclear, but manning says he was put in handcuffs. he then says during a pat down a female officer squeezed his genitals so hard-it ruptured his testicle. "She patted me down again and felt her reach as she grabbed my butt and she grabbed and squeezed and pulled down and that's when I heard something pop," Manning said Hospital records show Manning spent night following his arrest at children's hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. His mother Ikea Coney says her son may have permanent injuries preventing him from fathering children. "The doctor told me you have to press charges and that just alarmed me," Coney said. Manning is now facing charges of aggravated assault and resisting arrest. "He doesn't deserve no felony he's not a bad child. He's not in the streets," Coney said. "I believe he was sexually assaulted" The founder of his school says she was with manning 10 minutes before the incident. She says this straight-A model student hasn't had a single discipline problem in his 3 year history at the school. "You shouldn't be able to do that to any child. But this is a 16-year-old and that the force that was used in his private area it's sort of concerning to me," Coney said. Police in the 22nd District tell FOX 29 they are looking into this case and perhaps launching an internal investigation in the next couple days.157 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jean

Thank NBC weatherman Al Roker for telling Rush Limbaugh to “STUFF IT”As record cold temperatures swept the country last week, right-wingers seized upon their own ignorance to push their anti-science agenda. On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh claimed that liberals had just invented the term “polar vortex”—as a ploy to “help the global warming agenda.” But NBC weatherman Al Roker refused to let that stand. On the Today Show, he definitively proved “polar vortex” has been a well understood term among meteorologists for 50 years. then he added: Then he added: “So for all the doubters out there, STUFF IT.” Roker’s bravery is exceptional. The Koch-funded right-wing echo chamber bullies weather reporters on a regular basis, as they attack the scientific consensus that climate change is a real problem. It’s about time that more weather reporters stand up to this demagoguery. Join us in thanking Al Roker for telling Rush Limbaugh to take his right-wing, anti-science conspiracy theories and "STUFF IT."8,060 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Paul Hogarth

Protect Japan Dolphins from SlaughterAfter researching the tragedy of hunting cetacean creatures, it came to my attention that over 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed off the coast of Japan every year. Dolphins are a crucial part of the marine ecosystem and deserve the right to life without human cruelty. By contacting the Japanese government and influencing them to stop their slaughter of dolphins, we can save thousands of dolphins' lives while simultaneously preserving the marine ecosystem that provides sustenance for millions of people.344 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Sam Waterstone

Return Charles R. Snyder to the All Ohio State Fair Youth ChoirCharles R. Snyder is a man of great faith, honor, and dignity. His 21 year leadership of All Ohio State Fair Youth Choir has positively impacted the lives of thousands of singers, including my children. He was removed from his position because he reported the alleged misconduct of a former volunteer accompanist, which led to this man's arrest and indictment. He should be returned to his position immediately.1,066 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Mindy Brems

UNBAN DEBBIEFlorence lauderdale animal shelter is banning Debbie Darby Rappuhn from the shelter she controls the rescues and so they have met and wants Debbie to come back IF she helps with the duties of the workers. She does not want to do their job anymore. She wants to still have access, but wants to spend her time helping the animals get to rescue rather than helping the workers have an easier time of their jobs.474 of 500 SignaturesCreated by jonathan jones
