The greatest Electrical Pioneer of them all was Thomas Edison Edison's first major invention, in 1877, was the phonograph, which could soon be found in thousands of American homes, where it basically sat until 1923, when the record was invented.
Out of the homes of America will come the future citizens of America, and only as those homes are what they should be will this nation be what it should be.
Television is perhaps the greatest medium ever discovered to teach and educate and even to entertain. But the filth, the rot, the violence, and the profanity that spew from television screens into our homes is deplorable. It is a sad commentary on our society.

Latin life is rich with warmth, family values and history. I want to bring that beauty into American homes.
