That's cool. And no, I won't be holding one of those. Anything I hold is going to be fairly apolitical. Even the Unofficial Burning Man Republican list (BurnFree) is not that political; it's mainly just a place where one is not going to get hassled for being a conservative or for being politically incorrect.
I did have to ask, because I've encountered groups before, where there definitely was a political litmus test for membership, and another evening of being glared at because I wasn't in favor of whatever I was supposed to be in favor of, was not something I wanted to sit through. Or stand through, in this case.
