	Lower Saxony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lower Saxony borders on (from north and clockwise) the North Sea, the states of Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
		Originally the region was simply called Saxony, but as the center of gravity of the Duchy of Saxony gradually moved up the Elbe, towards the present-day states of Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony, the region was given the name of Lower Saxony, which it bore as an Imperial Circle Estate from the late 15th century on.
		The state was founded in 1946 by the British military administration, who merged the former states of Brunswick-Lüneburg, Oldenburg, and Schaumburg-Lippe with the former Prussian province of Hanover.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saxony
		This old Duchy of Saxony, as it is called in distinction from the Duchy of Saxe-Wittenberg, became the centre of the opposition of the German princes to the imperial power during the era of the Franconian or Salian emperors.
		The Kingdom of Saxony is the fifth state of the German Empire in area and third in population; in 1905 the average population per square mile was 778.8.
		Saxony is the most densely peopled state of the empire, and indeed of all Europe; the reason is the very large immigration on account of the development of manufactures.

		MUNICH - Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's party was headed for a record defeat in elections Sunday in the southern German state of Bavaria, battered by discontent over his failure to spur the economy and curb unemployment.
		At the last state election five years ago the CSU won 52.9 percent and the SPD 29 percent.
		The Bavaria vote is the latest in a demoralizing series of SPD defeats this year, after they lost power in elections in the northern state of Lower Saxony in February and were soundly beaten in Hesse state.

		To state that "this parallelism is not to suggest moral equivalence" is rich, since the obvious point of this statement was indeed to suggest a moral equivalence between those whose commit or sponsor murderous terror attacks and those who build settlements.
		The State Department is terrified of any change in the region because its institutional interest lies in preserving the personnel and regimes it has invested in and cultivated.
		In other words, the United States, to satisfy the State Department and certain of our so-called allies in the region, must be complicit in the creation of a new despotism.

		In Saxony K-5 reported a flurry of SPD activity in the form of pamphlet distribution and the distribution of SPD newsletters at an SED provincial party conference in Dresden.
		The SED took advantage of the postponement of the elections from the fall of 1949 to the fall of 1950 to break the resistance of opposition parties to the compilation of "unity lists" (lists slanted toward the SED) for that election.
		The Soviet state security organs were in all likelihood helpful in carrying out these activities, in much the same way that thay were involved in kidnappings from West Berlin in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

		Voters in Schröder's home state of Lower Saxony and in the central state of Hesse will be heading to the polls on February 2 to select their new leaders.
		It may be a state vote, but, as Schröder knows, this vote will be as much about his policies as it will be about such pressing local issues.
		In Lower Saxony, where Schröder won a majority in 1998 on his way to becoming chancellor, latest polls predict the downfall of the current Social Democratic government - and that the Christian Democrats may well rise to power with a possible majority of their own.
