They need to see, hear, and understand that there's a groundswell building. And even if they don't give a damn, they still need to be made aware that this behavior is NOT okay, and there's GONNA be a backlash.
You might even consider identifying yourself as a fellow GOPer, and telling them you are horrified by how they have defiled the good name of your party, and how you find this unsupportable - even among one of your own. You might say something like -
"it's behavior like THIS that makes me ashamed of the GOP, which my parents and grandparents belonged to and were proud of, and I just can't support anymore. This has made me decide to abandon this party and look elsewhere. If this happened to a Republican President, you wouldn't stand for it for a nanosecond, would you?!"
Further, you could tell them you're a DONATING member of the GOP and you've decided you won't do that anymore, either.
THEY HAVE TO KNOW THIS SHIT HAS CONSEQUENCES. THEY HAVE TO HAVE IT SHOVED INTO THEIR FACES.
A mere statement of outrage won't do squat. As I told the staffer in Barbara Boxer's office this morning.
"I can't stand to see so much evil go unpunished." GREAT statement uttered in the Boston Marathon bomber's trial today. Evidently by one of the witnesses testifying in court. Well, I, TOO, can't stand to see so much evil go unpunished. ESPECIALLY when it's perpetrated by TRAITORS in the GOP!!!
