How Cool Would it be to Drive Down Leo Giron Drive?
I respectfully request your support for the creation of Leo Giron Drive in Stockton, CA.
Reliable sources are hearing that the San Joaquin County officials feel that there may not be enough support to name the street leading to the new VA hospital in Stockton "Leo Giron Drive."

Time is of the essence. The length of the letter is not as important as the amount of support the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors need to see. Even just a letter that says "I support the naming of Leo Giron Drive" would be sufficient.
Please send and fax your short letter to:
SJC Board of Supervisors
Attn: Supervisor Carlos Villapudua
44 N. San Joaquin St.
Sixth Floor, Suite 627
Stockton, CA 95202
Fax number: 209-468-3694
Thank you in advance for your support.
