a start

'''Jack Kemp''' (b. 1935) was a congressman from the [[Buffalo]] area who led the movement for tax cuts in the 1980s. His legislation, entitled the "Kemp-Roth" tax cuts, embodied the insight of [[supply side economics]] that cutting taxes could both help the economy and increase government revenue. A former star football player in the fledgling [[American Football League]], Kemp ran unsuccessfully for president in 1988 and was the unsuccessful [[Republican]] nominee for the presidency in 1996. He also served for four years as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under President [[George H.W. Bush]].

Solidly [[conservative]] as a congressman and candidate for higher office, Kemp continued to help [[conservative]] candidates and causes. But in March 2006 he co-chaired a project with [[liberal]] [[Democrat]] [[John Edwards]] for the [[Council of Foreign Relations]] on the topic of [[Russia]]'s future and what the [[United States]] "can and should do."<ref>http://www.cfr.org/publication/9997/</ref>
