John Hoyle
Originally from Southern California, John Hoyle now resides in central Oregon after retiring from the real estate lending industry in 2007. In 2001 he began consulting, designing websites, and providing online marketing services for a select group of clients. Politically independent, John voted for candidates from both parties. Disappointed to some degree with all of the Presidents since John Kennedy, he rated George W. Bush as totally incompetent and the all-time worst President. John created JustOneOpinion.com in 2001, completely updated and redesigned the site during 2008, and did it again in 2009. He hopes that it will become an effective First Amendment forum, allowing some new writers to express their concerns about current affairs and to offer constructive suggestions for improving the American political system.
