It all started when Americans United for Separation of Church and State demanded that the city council take down a veteran’s monument in Young’s Park within the city. The monument featured a soldier bowing before a white cross, but the Americans United found this an offensive violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and threatened to sue.
The council voted to remove the memorial Nov. 2. Voters poured in the very next day to vote them out Nov. 3 in regular elections.
The city said it did not place the monument but that an unknown person put it there. The monument became a point of contention in the town, with many conservatives resenting the demands from the anti-religion group.
Seeking to defend the monument, they warned their council that if they voted to remove it, they’d pay the price.

It would have been nice if Campbell, Cohen and Spies had received that kind of support while they were in office. But, they didn't and look what you have now for a council. Good luck with that!
