The Sweet Tooth Conspiracy

Sandra threw her purse on the table and dropped the mail in the basket. Another glorious day in paradise. The phones began ringing almost immediately. The senator’s office was always bustling with activity. Even on he weekends. Sandra had worked for Senator Marcus Winters for the last five years. She had been lured away from her pleasures of life in Archeology, to be a liaison between his office and the scientific world. In hind sight she realized it was an attempt to silence her or to buy her loyalties. She had decided to stay and try to fight the system from the inside. Network, and build allies inside the senate. Sandra had seen some headway in protecting the environment, and archeological history, but the money had them out-gunned. She championed herself as a defender of the underdog. When complaints came in, they were routed to her. And come in they did., en masse. Everything from road improvement request, to school curriculum, to noise at airports and then some. Most of these were parceled out to other staff members to send the appropriate reply to. Sandra kept the deeper complaints for herself. Corporations stealing, littering, and conducting illegal activities. She would then forward the complaints to the appropriate agencies, and do follow-ups. She began to enjoy what she did but she was also overwhelmed. The complaints never ceased. And when the news media broke with a new consumer safety issue, a fresh batch of complaints flowed in, from newly concerned citizens. Today was no different. CNC had just broke a story about Momma’s Toys, IN using contaminated materials in their stuffed animals as well as carcinogenic materials in their plastics. Sandra took the batch of letters and emails into the senator’s office.

“Sandy, how are you? What is the war-cry today?”, the heavyset senator asked, rising from his desk with a plastered mask of concern.

“Cancerous toys, Senator”, Sandra said handing the stack of papers to the senator.
