I loved Jack Kemp. He was a godfather of the supply side revolution. He worked indefatigably to educate the public on the connection between low tax rates, prosperity for everyone, and relief for the poor. He was passionate about reaching out, as a conservative and free market thinker, to African Americans, and in offering economic programs that would genuinely uplift. That's a big legacy for one man.
Jack Kemp was a great American. He will be missed deeply.
Dear Jeff & Stacey: If you should pass this way, I hope you’ll see the outpouring of care for your family. I know you (and the grandboys) must be sad. However, I also know you know he is present with the LORD this day - and no longer suffering.
When the roll is called up yonder, we’ll all be re-united.

What most elected Republicans today lack in their hearts, Jack Kemp had in spades: passion. He was a fighter by nature and a lover of big ideas. That he inspired many more people out of uniform than he ever did in it is not to dismiss his skills as a quarterback, but to compliment his abilities as a motivator and as a creative thinker.
At a time when America needs more like him, we now have one less.
Godspeed, Jack Kemp.
