While most Whitney Houston fans can do nothing but watch as the one-time singing powerhouse spirals downward from reported substance abuse, one supporter in Los Angeles has decided to do something about it. Calvin 'Cashears' Shears, a cabaret singer living in the Jefferson Park area, is holding a press conference Monday in Leimert Park to announce the "We Love You, Whitney” Day, which calls for a “national day of support” for the entertainer.
"I hope that at least 50 to 60 cities will get involved," Cashears told Los Angeles newspaper Our Weekly. "We will have the rally nationwide July 1 simultaneously in all of the cities." "I am contacting radio stations to get the word out about Whitney and I am also sending out letters to people across the country to lend their support," he added. "I'm calling on all "black politicians, ministers, civil rights groups, black radio stations, newspapers, college students and the rest of our people to send a collective message of thunderous love across America to Whitney Houston."
