bristol palin has been hired to be the poster child for teen abstinence for $262K
really? really.
"Teen mom Bristol Palin, now 20, scored $262,000 in 2009 as Candie’s Foundation ambassador promoting abstinence.
Let me get this straight: Candie’s paid a teen mom a quarter-million dollars to tell other teens not to become teen moms?
According to the Candie’s Web site, Palin’s job — which she still has — is “helping other teens understand the incredible challenges teen parents face, and encouraging them to wait until they are socially and financially independent to start their families.”
What incredible challenges? Like walking the red carpet and mastering the paso doble on “Dancing with the Stars”?"

A friend of mine has a daughter who got pregnant at 16. She speaks to teens at schools and churches about the mistakes she made. Not only do parents welcome what she has to say, but from what I understand she has had a major impact on the lives of the teens she has spoken to. She's in her mid-20s now.
what did she do with the quarter mill?
It's true that even a SES doesn't pull in $262K. But, I do find it quaint that you actually believe that only one government worker would be needed by the government to provide this service.What's the difference between paying the government employees' salaries and the salaries of charity employees? The money is still green. However, I would bet good money that the smaller organization uses that money (and personnel) more efficiently. Just a guess.And to think....the right wing wants to get rid of Government assistance programs and replace them with private charities
We can see why
Obviously the answer is overhead
The government does not pay anyone $262,000 a year....let alone a 20 year old without an education
As an aside, for those who are bitching about how the candie's foundation spends it's money.... this should explain it... unless you're really dumb.
the candie's foundation
The Candies Foundation is a non-profit organization that works to shape the way youth in America think about teen pregnancy and parenthood. We are an operating foundation rather than a grant-making foundation. The foundation develops and runs communication campaigns to raise awareness about, and motivate teens to prevent, teen pregnancy.
Each year, millions of teens are exposed to the foundation's messages, which encourage them to delay pregnancy and expose them to the realities of teen parenthood. Our approach is unique: all of our ads use celebrities that teens can relate to, in a style that speaks to teens on their own terms. We go beyond raising awareness; our goal is to influence teen culture.
A key to the success of our campaigns is sharing our content with organizations around the country that are doing community-level teen pregnancy prevention programs. This way we reach teens simultaneously at the macro level pop culture around teen pregnancy and parenting and the micro level individual skills and behaviors.
That answers 'truthdon'tmatter's' dumbassed question about how those donating to the charity would feel. One would assume that if one is donating to a charity, one would find out how that charity undertakes its work - at least that's what I do before I write a check. The charity states they are a campaigning organization. The commercial is part of that campaign. I see no issue with it... other than idiot lefties who hate the name Palin more than they care about underage pregnancy.

I don't know. Is there another with current celeb status who has personal experience in this matter and who could get so much attention?so there's no one else who would be willing to do this for less than $262k?
there's no better use for that money?

Just judging by this thread alone, it seems as if the charity chose well. I never even heard of the charity until this, so it raised my awareness of at least its existence.

Gee that is great , they film Palin saying stuff and then get to pocket big salaries for it.
Im sure that really helps the kids
I'm not in that business, so I don't know what the going rates are. If I knew what they were, like we can see for labor, etc., I would have a good answer for you.I don't know.
