Bristol Palin's Nonprofit Paid Her Seven Times What It Donated
posted by: Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux
It may seem bizarre that Bristol Palin, who once said that telling young people to be abstinent is "not realistic at all," would be the spokesperson for the Candie's Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to "educat[ing] America's youth about the devastating consequences of teen pregnancy through celebrity PSA campaigns and initiatives." The foundation tends to promote abstinence as the best way to prevent pregnancy (past campaigns have included girls in tight shirts that say "I'm sexy enough…to keep you waiting"), and Palin was criticized when she began speaking on their behalf.
She explained that her attitude toward teen pregnancy changed dramatically after her son, Tripp, was born. She was not, she said, "prepared at all" at all for the demands of motherhood, and was speaking out to prevent other teens from making the same mistake.
Now, however, the Candie's Foundation is under fire after it released its 2009 tax information, revealing that they paid Palin a staggering $262,500. But that's not all - the foundation, which is supposed to be working to prevent teen pregnancy, donated only $35,000 to actual initiatives (the Mt. Sinai Adolescent Health Center and the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy). That's just over a tenth of how much they paid Palin.

I am not saying there is any wrong doing here, BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wisconsin just held an election for a member of their Supreme Court.
It was basically a referendum on Gov. Walkers attack on the unions.
After the election was done, the Democrat backed candidate had won by just a couple of hundred votes.
The Left was extremely happy.
Now comes another Florida.
A Republican office holder has just announced that they have "found" over 13,000 "lost" votes from a city.
Over 10,000 of those votes apparently are in favor of the Republican Supreme Court judge.
I am not saying there is anything wrong here, BUT...
How convienant that these votes were found after the election was over and they lost.
