You really should try to be a little brighter when asking your question so you don't....appear to be a bigot or intolerant of religions you don't like.
You should have asked your question something like...
"How many in the US Congress are Catholics, Protestants, Mormons and Unitarians. Oh, yeah...and Jews...can't forget the Jews."
See how much better this makes you look like an interested citizen...and lowering the chance you'll be thrown in jail? Good.
To answer your question? I don't know and I don't care.

Lieberman is the only one I know who claims to be, but merely by birth. When he ran for the Vice presidency with Al Gore, Al Gore wanted to stop support to Israel by the Americans. If Lieberman was a real Jew, and loved his people, I can't see why he would want to do that, but apparently he did, by running with Al Gore and his screwed up ideals. Israel is our link into the middle east, and the best allies, along with England, btw, that America has. Lieberman also can't make up his mind what political party he wants to run under. Israel I am sure is ashamed of him, as am I.

No you will not get arrested. Why would you? It's a good question, but what's the difference? You want to put in a quota? How about on black people in the NBA?
Whatever people want to do, they should do it - and trends shouldn't be used to stop 'em.
