Democratic politicians are on the verge of learning the exact wrong lesson from the Massachusetts election. Can you sign this emergency petition telling them to be stronger -- not weaker -- in 2010?

"The loss of Ted Kennedy's seat -- due to a lack of enthusiasm among Democrats and Independents -- sends a clear message to Congress. The Senate health care bill is not the change we were promised in 2008, and it must be improved. The Senate must use 'reconciliation' to pass a better bill with a strong public option."

This is already a sad time for those of us who loved Ted Kennedy. But to make it even worse, conservative Democrats are claiming that the loss happened because Congress was "too far to the left." But poll after poll shows voters want Democrats to fight harder for change.
