If renewing online, after you select "pay dues" and before you enter your credit card information, you will see a blue edit link next to the RPAC investment on the order summary. If you click on the edit button you'll be taken to a page that will allow you to adjust your investment to any amount you'd feel comfortable contributing or to opt out from investing at this time.
