Dear Editor, I'm a die-hard Democrat, but I was absolutely thrilled when I heard Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison recently issued a statement condemning a recent wave of political arrests in Burma. I'm sending her a holiday card to let her know how much I appreciate her action, and I hope other Chronicle readers will do the same. It's a pain to always write to complain or beg; it's nice to send a positive message for once, and I'm sure it's nice for Sen. Hutchison to receive one.
