WASHINGTON, July 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former presidential candidate Gary Bauer on July 4th said that reports of Sarah Palin's political demise were "premature and reflect more the hopes and dreams of liberal analysts than actual reality."

The chairman of the Campaign for Working Families made the following statement:

"No Republican can get the GOP nomination for president or win the White House without the Values wing of the party. Given that reality, I have no doubt that between now and 2012 a leader will emerge.

"For the media, the race is clearly in full swing, especially in regards to Sarah Palin. Reports of Sarah Palin's political death are highly exaggerated and reflect more the biases of the prophets, soothsayers and media talking heads than it does the political reality. Sarah Palin is a force in the GOP and one of the most promising figures in American politics whether she is governor of Alaska or not. It is totally premature to interpret Sarah Palin's announcement as a withdraw from American politics. A year from now, a lot of pundits may be eating their words."

CARLETON PLACE, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 4, 2009) - Workers at Community Living Association Lanark, represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), have been pushed by their employer to go out on strike for a fair deal.

"Management and the board did nothing to prevent this strike," said Karen Bowes, CUPE 1521-02 unit chair. "We've done everything possible to find a deal that would have prevented this strike. Management refused every no-cost proposal to start a pension plan. We don't understand why they would refuse a plan that would not cost the agency a single penny."

The lack of a pension and concession demands by the agency pushed the workers to the picket line. While other Association for Community Living (ACL) agencies across the province achieved fair settlements with their workers, Community Living Association Lanark focused on "saying no to every proposal put to them to address the issue of a pension plan", said Bowes. "Other ACL workers in Ontario already have pension plans, so there is no reason why this agency should not offer the same plan, after all ACL agencies are all funded the same way."

The 90 social service workers provide care to people with intellectual disabilities. Their last contract expired on March 31, 2009. "This is an issue of respect and fairness," continued Bowes. "Management's actions show a complete lack of respect for our members and the services we provide to people with intellectual challenges. What kind of leadership is this?"

HONG KONG, July 4 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- The bankruptcy of Chrysler and GM has shocked the entire auto industry chain in America. The falling of giants has set off a chain of bankruptcies of related enterprises on the up and down-stream. Auto-part makers, such as Hayes Lemmerz, the world-famous maker of automobile wheels and braking systems, and Lear, the world's biggest auto-seat maker, are dying off. The U.S. auto industry is on the verge of a complete collapse.

While on the other hand, China's auto market is taking on a completely different look. According to statistics in the first quarter of 2009, sales in China's auto market surpassed that of the U.S. market for the first time. The whole auto market is growing rapidly, with an expected 18% increase. China's automobile enterprises have withstood the impact of financial crisis, thanks to its domestic market. Holding in hand a robustly growing domestic market, these enterprises are marching into the North American auto industries with a rich financial basis, and are acquiring automobile companies there as well as up and down-stream auto-part makers at a very low price.

According to statistics collected by Fairtheworld.com, a handful of consulting companies are now playing an active role between Chinese and U.S. automobile companies, aimed at finding Chinese buyers for those mired American automakers and auto-part makers. This cross-board acquisition move is epitomized by the recent hot-topic of China's Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company buying GM's Hummer Brand.

In response to the latest trend in the international auto industry, Fairtheworld.com has specially designed an Automobile Hall and opened it in its "Fair N Fair" 3D Virtual Expo, which is a global e-commerce platform. Various automobile enterprises are to be arranged at different floors for exhibition according to their characteristics on the industry chain. While the U.S. auto companies, at this critical juncture, can talk business with thousands of high-end auto enterprises around the globe by entering "Fair N Fair", so as to achieve high-efficient and cost-effective cooperation.

LOS ANGELES, July 4 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Gold Show" with Capital Gold Group CEO Jonathan Rose is heard on over 300 radio stations nationwide, including KFWB 980 in the Los Angeles area, the home of Capital Gold Group headquarters. Exploding numbers of Los Angeles listeners are tuning in to weekly broadcasts on KFWB 980 on Saturdays at 9 a.m. and Sundays at 12 p.m. to learn more about why owning physical gold is paramount in these highly volatile and unpredictable economic times.

Mr. Rose also discusses current domestic and international events and their impact on the typical investment portfolio, and why gold, as a store of wealth, is the key to a balanced and protected portfolio in an unstable financial market. Listeners may then contact Capital Gold Group for a free Gold Guide by calling 800-510-9594.

A common topic is the "shrinking U.S. Dollar" resulting from trillions of newly printed dollars created out of thin air for various bailouts as well as President Obama's stimulus plan. The Federal Reserve will have to make sure that the quantity of dollars continues to grow, however, by creating too many dollars out of thin air, the Federal Reserve has sealed the dollar's inflationary fate. The result will be that the purchasing power of the dollar will continue to be inflated away, and that has become a sleep-losing concern for thousands of L.A. Gold Show listeners, as well as people all across the country.

In "The Gold Show", Mr. Rose helps to educate investors on areas of potential risk, not only in their investment portfolios but in their retirement accounts, and offers sound reasoning for owning a portion of your long term savings and retirement in physical gold, along with traditional investments like stocks, bonds and real estate. Owning gold can protect the investor and his or her family from the inevitable loss of buying power that can result from owning a portfolio full of paper assets and dollar-denominated investments.

"Ask Mr. Rose", a new feature recently added to The Gold Show, allows listeners to submit questions to be answered by Mr. Rose on the radio program by visiting www.askmrrose.com and completing the easy to use submission form.

Capital Gold Group, Inc. is one of the premier providers of physical gold and other precious metal assets in the country today. Clients may own gold in two ways, either direct ownership of gold in a Precious Metals Traditional, Roth, or SEP IRA, or the most popular method, to have gold delivered directly into their hands - a store of wealth that they control.

Jonathan Rose is a renowned speaker and commentator on gold markets worldwide including the U.S., Europe, Asia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. "The Gold Show" can be heard on a number of CBS, Citadel Broadcasting, and Clear Channel affiliates.
