Richard E. Kelly
Now living in Arizona and Michigan, Richard Kelly retired in 1997 after a 33-year career as a manufacturing executive. He started writing in 1998, publishing his first book in 2007. At one time an avid Republican, Kelly now considers himself a fiscal conservative and social libertarian. He became disenchanted with the Republican party when he felt that Ronald Reagan opened the door to evangelical Christians who were dedicated to legislating their own peculiar brand of righteousness. Kelly now has a raging passion to speak out, hoping that it is not too late to make a difference. For that reason, he enthusiastically joined the staff of JustOneOpinion.com at the urging of his longtime friend, John Hoyle. Read more about Dick Kelly at Richard E. Kelly.
