Once the Legislative Action Center is enabled, you will need to maintain a list of legislators. To do this, go to the Member Database Admin and select "House Members" or "Senate Members" from the view drop-down menu.

To set up a legislative item, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your account and look for "Legislative Action" in the right column under admin functions.

2. Enter the name of the Action Item, which represents the specific issue at hand.

3. Specify the start and end dates for the action item.

4. Provide details about the requests and why people should contact their legislators.

5. Write a suggested subject and message text for the communication to legislators.

6. Choose whether the action should target the House, Senate, or both.

7. Decide if people should be able to send the message to multiple legislators.

8. If only specific legislators need to be contacted, select them from the "Limited Members" option.

9. Once you have entered all the necessary information, click on "Submit."

10. The action item will now appear in the list, and you will also receive a URL that can be used to promote the action item.

11. Share this URL on your website or include it in an email to your contacts.

As people respond to the action item, the system will keep track of who has contacted which legislator, providing you with valuable tracking information.
