Official ballot argument for 'NO' on Measure H
Save Clover Valley, protect Rocklin, vote NO on Measure H.
Vote NO on a new highway that will bring 14,000 new cars through our neighborhoods.
Vote NO on the destruction of more than 7,000 oak trees.
Vote NO on the paving over our history by placing roads and houses in and around large Native American burial grounds.
Thanks to the nearly 5,000 Rocklin residents who signed petitions demanding this vote we now have the opportunity to protect the quality of life we enjoy by rejecting this destructive development. Your NO vote on Measure H will stop the destruction of Clover Valley.
The out of town developers pushing for this bad plan are asking Rocklin voters to believe that the way to reduce traffic is to put 14,000 new cars on our roads and build even more houses. They actually expect us to believe them when they say that the way to save Clover Valley is to cut down thousands of trees and pave over ancient historic sites. Rocklin voters will not be fooled and we will join together and vote NO on Measure H.
But to do this we need your help. The out of town developers we are fighting have almost unlimited resources and think they can confuse Rocklin Voters with an expensive media campaign. To join the fight to save Clover Valley please call 916-435-3828 or visit saveclovervalley.org. Together we can protect the Rocklin we all love.
To preserve home values for all Rocklin residents, prevent more traffic on our streets, and stop the destruction of 7,000 trees in the historic Clover Valley, please join us and thousands of your neighbors by voting NO on Measure H.

Official rebuttal to argument in Favor of Measure H
The developers, desperate to pass Measure H, need Rocklin voters to believe some things that defy all logic and reason.
To support Measure H we must believe:
· First, that 14,000 new cars per day on our streets will “reduce traffic congestion.” The
developers are so off base about what Rocklin wants that they believe “faster” drivers
“speeding” through our neighborhoods, by our schools, and through a retirement
community, is a selling point for their project.
· Next, that paving over the open space gem of Clover Valley by constructing roads and
buildings in and around large Indian burial grounds and destroying many other historic sites
“increases open space.”
· It gets better. They go on to argue that cutting down 7,400 mature oak trees, many over
100 years old, is the way to “protect Clover Valley” and preseve our “majestic Valley Oak
trees.”
When we started the fight to protect Rocklin and save Clover Valley we said the choice was
SAVE or PAVE. We never believed the developers would try to argue that paving over the
valley IS saving the valley.
Join us in rejecting this slick media campaign. Stand with the nearly 5,000 of your neighbors
who signed a petition demanding this vote and vote NO on Measure H.
The developers trying to force Measure H on the people of Rocklin have one thing correct.
Measure H is about protecting our quality of life.
Protect Rocklin’s quality of life and vote NO on Measure H.
