Norway Right-Wing for tax reforms / News in brief Progress Party (FrP) and Conservative Party (H) politicians want to see wealth and inheritance taxes removed in the next four-year parliamentary period. Both levies currently provide Norway with around NOK 18 billion (about GBP 1.94 billion/USD 3.13 billion) a year. Head of the Frp’s Party political programme committee Per Sandberg told DN they remain divided when it came to other forms of tax, such as income, however. With all Parties fully aware of 2013’s impending general election, Labour (Ap) finance policy spokesman Torgeir Micaelsen said, “We're back to a classic discussion where we believe that such tax cuts are unnecessary in a situation where the welfare state needs every penny to build roads, schools and improving care for the elderly.” Like this article?

African-American Civil Rights Movement (1954–68) The African-American Civil Rights Movement or 1960s Civil Rights Movement encompasses social movements in the United States whose goals were to end racial segregation and discrimination against black Americans and to secure legal recognition and federal protection of the citizenship rights enumerated in the Constitution and federal law. This article covers the phase of the movement between 1954 and 1968, particularly in the South. A wave of inner city riots in black communities from 1964 through 1970 undercut support from the white community. The emergence of the Black Power movement, which lasted from about 1966 to 1975, challenged the established black leadership for its cooperative attitude and its nonviolence, and instead demanded political and economic self-sufficiency. During the same time as African Americans were being disenfranchised, white Democrats imposed racial segregation by law. Characteristics of the post-Reconstruction period: Racial segregation.

Jens-Steklov – nesten i KGBs garn Alf R. Jacob­sen har i dag en kro­nikk i Dag­bla­det som kas­ter lys over Jens Stol­ten­bergs kon­takt med KGB. Stol­ten­berg hadde alle­rede en mappe i KGB under kate­go­rien - frem­skredne kon­tak­ter, hvil­ket betød han ble dyr­ket med tanke på å bli fan­get i KGBs nett. Oleg Gordi­jev­skij avslørt Arne Tre­holt. Det kom som et sjokk på regje­rin­gen og Ap. But­kovs norske førings­of­fi­ser, Einar Brusletto, sa det var makt­på­lig­gende å finne ut hvem som skjulte seg bak nav­net Stek­lov. Med iskald ro og stort mot greide han i et ube­vok­tet øyeblikk i KGB-senteret å ta ut Stek­lovs mappe fra safen. Stol­ten­berg holdt på å bli valgt inn som med­lem av For­svars­kom­mi­sjo­nen, et utvalg KGB ville ha stor inter­esse av. I løpet av de få minut­tene But­kov hadde hatt til rådig­het i Moskva, hadde han dess­uten kun­net fast­slå at Stek­lovs mappe var opp­ret­tet tid­lig i 1989 og var av typen DOR - Delo Ope­ra­tiv­noj Raz­ra­botki.

Nå kan du avsløre politikernes løftebrudd Alt de folkevalgte sier og stemmer på, områder som sykehuskøer, skolepolitikk eller asylsaker, er i utgangspunktet offentlig tilgjengelig informasjon. Det betyr ikke at all informasjonen er lett tilgjengelig. Slett ikke. I 2012, når to millioner nordmenn er innom Facebook hver dag, er det fortsatt vanskelig å finne ut hva stortingsrepresentantene faktisk stemmer i konkrete saker. – Mens det er mye snakk i media om at politikerne har gjort det ene og det andre, er det ganske vanskelig og lite tilgjengelig for folk flest å se på hva de faktisk har gjort, sier statsviter Daniel Rees til Dagsavisen. Han er en av initiativtakerne bak nettsiden «Holder de ord» (www.holderdeord.no), som de håper skal bli et redskap for lettere å kunne sjekke om politikerne faktisk holder løftene sine. Skal lage oversikt Nylig vant de unge gründerne en reklamekampanje verdt millioner (se faktaboks). – Vi kommer ikke til å lage en vurdering av hvert enkelt løfte, om det har blitt holdt eller ikke. – Ja, absolutt!

Politiske løftebrudd blir tillatt - Nyheter Løftebrudd fra politikere kan straffes med et og et halvt år i fengsel, men nå vil Stortinget fjerne denne sovende paragrafen fra straffeloven. Sovende paragraf Du var kanskje ikke klar over det, men du har hatt muligheten til å gå til sak mot politikere som har brutt et løfte. Strafferammen er 1,5 år i fengsel. Det finnes ingen eksempler på at politikere har blitt dømt for dette i Norge, men mange eksempler på fagre løfter. - Såvidt jeg vet, har dette vært en sovende paragraf, sier leder i justiskomiteen Anne Marit Bjørnflaten fra Arbeiderpartiet Gjennomgår straffeloven Hun og resten av Stortinget sørger i neste uke for at politikere ikke lenger kan risikere fengsel for å bryte løftene sine, en sovende paragraf i straffeloven fjernes - Dette gjøres i forbindelse med at vi har en totalfornyelse av straffeloven og vi ønsker at politi og rettsapparatet heller skal bruke kreftene på viktige saker - ikke å straffeforfølge politikere som ikke holder det de lover.
