I see by your e-mail address that you're affiliated with Harvard? I work in Cambridge, live out in the burbs in Bedford, and have been a member of the congregation there for nearly 20 years. We do have Republicans -- a small minority, but they seem to feel comfortable and respected. Though I think we did have something to do with one of them leaving the GOP and becoming the Town Democratic Chairman because of W.
