World Peace coming to Congress

By Judy Kurtz - 02/14/13 04:36 PM ET

Congress, meet World Peace. Metta World Peace, that is.

The harmoniously named Los Angeles Laker is coming to Capitol Hill to promote the Mental Health in Schools Act alongside Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-Calif.).

The basketball pro, who legally changed his name from Ron Artest back in 2011, will be on hand Friday morning at the Longworth House Office Building.

ITK’s fave part of the Thursday press release is how it refers to the hoops whiz: “Napolitano and Mr. World Peace will be available to take questions regarding the bill and the NBA star’s work to advocate for increased mental health services for youth.”
