Legislative Action Center
The legislative action center is a tool that allows your organization to prompt members and other contacts to send an email message to elected officials including State Representatives, State Senators, Other Government - city, county, or federal legislators) regarding a particular advocacy issue.
The heart of the action center is the creation of 'action items'. Each action item may correspond to a particular issue or a bill or proposal in process. Admins can create an action item where members can specify which legislators need to be contacted (or if all of them need to be contacted), a suggested message to be sent, and begin and end dates for the campaign. After the action item is set up, you are presented with a URL that you may post on your website or send out in an email to your contacts in order to prompt them to take action.
As people follow the link and respond, the system will track who has contacted which legislator.
NOTE: With the legislative action center, you will need to edit and maintain a list of legislators/elected officials. This is done from within Member Database Admin, house members and senate members are two special record types that will allow you to manage legislators. We can upload, and maintain this for you, but some charges for this may apply.
