" . . . let them know that you are cutting back by 1/2 your contribution to them as a protest."
No, let them know that you are cutting ALL of your contribution to them as a protest. As Rush pointed out in his analysis, the SC has, essentially, said that it is the contributors to political campaigns who are responsible for political corruption. As a result, in order to end political corruption, we must withhold any and all future donations to political campaigns.
If we hurt the politicians in their wallets, they will be only too happy to repeal this law but, my friends, don't become complacent if/when they do. They are noted for circumventing process and passing dreadful laws in the middle of the night when they think no one is watching.
Our first priority MUST BE to get CFR struck down in its entirety and allow NO similar bill to be introduced. The government has declared war on us; we must show them that we are ready, willing and able to fight back with every tool in our arsenal. That means writing our representatives to express our displeasure; it means withholding campaign contributions; it means actively protesting them everytime they make a public appearance. They should NEVER be allowed to forget or repeat the CFR debacle.

The reason I said 1/2 instead of ALL was, if you cut off all contributions two things could happen
1 (assuming his is someone you would normaly support ie conservative, or center-right) a leftist might win the election(note: this is what is known as a bad thing)
2 the candidate will write you off as a lost vote and will not pay any attention too you.
Remember the idea is to get this law replealed.
