Text of Democratic Response by Sen. Durbin (Chron.com)
From (Houston) Chronicle wire reports
Hello. This is Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois.
If this holiday season finds you at a post office, take a look at the people in line with you. Most of them are mailing packages across the state and across the country, but many are sending packages to their soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Inside many of those boxes headed for the war zones you'll find gifts like homemade cookies and family photos, but you'll also find expensive items no military family should ever have to buy like body armor and Kevlar vests.
