Legislative Action Center

Once enabled, you will need to edit/maintain a list of legislators. This is done from within Member Database Admin, house members and senate members are two special record types that you will see in the view drop-down.

To set up an legislative item, log-in, then look for Legislative Action in the right column under admin functions.

Enter the name of the Action Item (the issue at hand), begin and end dates, the details about the requests (why people should contact their legislator) then the suggested subject and message text, house/senate/both, multiple selection (whether you want people to be able to send to multiple legislators), limited members (if it’s just a few legislators that need to be lobbied, select them).

When you’re done entering the action item, click on Submit. It will show up in the list, along with a url you can use to promote the action item. You can post this url on your website or sent out in an email to your contacts.

As people respond, the system will track who has contacted which legislator.
