Welcome to the B5 Blog Off at One Vote Matters

Today is the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and the longest day of the year.

This year, for the first time since 1975 – the summer solstice is falling on June 20th. In recognition of this event, B5 Media bloggers across the network will be blogging once an hour, for 24 hours!

We here at One Vote Matters decided that we wanted to make things a little more interesting/focused – if we were going to be blogging all day long – we may as well have a theme!

And the theme we’ve chosen is: Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.

Senator Kennedy was recently diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor – he has had surgery and is undergoing treatment to combat the disease.

Throughout his personal, professional and political, life Senator Kennedy has fought the good fight and we have no doubt that he will give his all to defeat this foe as well.

Today we plan to look back on Senator Kennedy’s career and life – as well looking forward.

Whether you are a fan of Ted Kennedy or not – a Democrat or Republican – a citizen of Massachusetts or the World, Ted Kennedy has had an impact on your life and history.

And so we begin!!!
