Description
This module doesn't appear to work. Could someone explain to me how to get this to do anything other than download a csv file with a few id tags in it?

The module configuration allows you to set which legislative sessions to work with.
The legislature import is then managed from the Import Manager module.
Administer -> Content Management -> Imports takes you to a screen where you can import data (bills, politicians, etc) into your drupal database.
DISCLAIMER: I just started setting up this module, there is likely a better way to do this.
I set up version 5.x-0.x-dev from 2009-Mar-18 and had to make a few changes to the database to run the 2 imports I have tried.
For Govtrack Bills
alter table legislature_billchange column topic topic text;
For Govtrack Politicians
alter table legislature_elected_job
change column is_most_recent is_most_recent tinyint(4) default 0;
alter table legislature_politician
change column legis_id legis_id tinyint(4) null,
change column congresspedia_url congresspedia_url text null,
change column fec_id fec_id tinyint(4) null;
