There could be a mob of screaming teenage girls descending on the Capitol next week, and they won't be clamoring for health care reform.
Nick Jonas, one of the three heartthrob brothers who make up Jonas Brothers, is coming to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to talk about juvenile diabetes, an affliction he was diagnosed with at age 13.
Jonas, who is now 16, will testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee on June 24 to ask for more federal funding for diabetes research "and to remind Congress about the urgent need for a cure for a disease he lives with every day," a senate aide said.
Fellow diabetes sufferers Mary Tyler Moore and Sugar Ray Leonard are also set to testify at the hearing, which will be held in the Dirksen Building.
Perhaps Senators can get Jonas to confirm the rampant rumors that he has rekindled his romance with Miley Cyrus.
