## Ten Commandments in Fargo[edit]

Recently, the Fargo City Commissioners decided in a 3-2 vote to remove the Ten Commandments monument from the City Hall mall in Fargo. This has outraged many Christians in Fargo and has caused them to start petitioning so that they can bring the issue to the Fargo voters.[1]
