When PDA has an important issue that we
would like members to contact their legislators
about, you will receive an email which will
explain why PDA is asking you to contact your
legislator. Within the email, scroll down to
the bottom and click the “Take Action Now”
button to be directed to SoftEdge, where you
can send a message to your legislator.

After you click the “Take Action Now”
button, you will be directed to the alert
on the issue PDA is requesting that you
take action on.

Each action alert will include a summary of
the issue, talking points to use when talking
with your legislators, and a pre-formatted
letter that you can send directly to them.
The letters may be customized to include
comments related to the particular issue.
By scrolling down to the bottom of the alert,
you can enter in your contact information,
add any additional comments you would like
your legislators to know, and send the letter.
The software will use the contact information
that you enter to populate the letter with the
information for your legislators and will send
it directly to them. The software will
automatically send your letter to the correct
legislator, depending on if the bill is in the
House or Senate, or in Committee. Be sure to
enter your home address.
