Reason: Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio. He developed many devices which greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, stock ticker, and first commercially available incandescent light bulb. His light bulb led to the concept of electric-power generation and distribution to homes, businesses, and factories. He holds 1,093 U.S. patents and many more overseas. Quite remarkable for being home-schooled by his mother, Nancy. He founded General Electric. Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, and Edison are known as the Fathers of Modernity.

Reason: After leaving Ohio for Michigan as a 7 year-old boy in 1854, Edison returned briefly 52 years later to purchase his birthplace to be a monument to his accomplishments, not the least of which was his accumulation of a multi-million dollar estate because of his many inventions. The Edison Birthplace Museum and the General Electric lighting headquarters in Cleveland are perhaps his most notable direct contributions to Ohio.

Reason: We believe the person to best represent the great state of Ohio is the man who has been named “Man of the Millennium,” Thomas Alva Edison. Thomas A. Edison represents the following ideals that we can all be proud of: Overcoming adversity. Born into a blue collar family in a humble home his father built in Milan, Ohio, Edison was a failure in school and nearly deaf since the age of twelve, yet he went on to change the world as no one else in history has. Innovation. He and his team are the first to record sound, first to record motion on film, first to create a practical incandescent bulb. From wax paper to better Portland cement and prefab houses to the alkaline battery, he made many things that people do not realize were his inventions. Entrepreneurial spirit. He designed and created utility power plants and distribution systems, and founded General Electric and other companies. Edison represents the wonderfully free spirit of invention for the good of all humanity in the world.

Name: Thomas A. Edison
Reason: His inventions to mankind have far reaching effects on all mankind, regardless of race, religion, politics or class. He gave us the power to have light without fire, the ability to be able to record speech, music, etc and enjoy it again at a later time. Motion pictures were not available until he provided the means to enjoy them. He gave us the "Edison Effect", the principle behind vacuum tubes needed to build the first radios and televisions. His invention of the fluoroscope has saved countless lives. He provided it for all to use without having it patented! Mr. Edison was born in the small village of Milan, Ohio, situated in North Central Ohio. The Edison Birthplace and the adjacent museums provide all of the visitors to look back in time to the early years of the industrial age. Edison is Milan's Favorite Son and it would be a wonderful tribute to have his statue in the National Statuary Hall. For these and many other reasons, we respectfully submit our recommendation that Thomas A. Edison is the Best Choice to represent Ohio in the National Statuary Hall! Thank you very much for your consideration of Thomas A. Edison as the best choice to represent Ohio in the National Statuary Hall.

Reason: Edison's statue will never have to be removed once it is in place in Statuary Hall. There is nothing political or personal about him that could ever offend anyone in the world. Consider all that he invented that makes him a man above others but who did not think so much of himself that he forgot he was a man like all others. I would make a special trip back to DC just to see this genius from Ohio get his deserved spot among famous Americans from all other states.
