Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid met today with Grammy winning singer Sheryl Crow to tout his breast cancer research bill.

It's not the first time Reid (D-NV) has had famous rock stars in his office.

Last year, U2's Bono was wooing the leader to boost support for poverty and AIDS awareness as well as international genocide prevention.

Crow, herself a breast cancer survivor, offers hope to the nation with her "star power," Reid said.

"As a breast cancer survivor, and someone who cares deeply about women's health, I want answers to the question of what causes breast cancer and how to prevent it," Crow said, adding that Reid's bill will help provide those answers.
