**__Example - Get Up__** The pressure group GetUp used various methods to campaign to restore funding cuts to the Solar Flagship Program, which supports large-scale solar power stations in Australia. Their methods included use of the following:
 * __Methods Used to Influence Change__**
 * nearly 40,000 Australians signed a petition in a rapid response campaign.
 * over $165,000 was raised by Get Up members to get a powerful print ad in News Limited and Fairfax papers
 * members in key electorates wrote thousands of emails and placed hundreds of calls to independent MPs and Greens MP Adam Bandt.
 * GetUp hosted a press conference in Canberra with Andrew Wilkie, Rob Oakeshott, Tony Windsor and Adam Bandt to present the Get Up petition that stated that cutting renewable energy programs to pay for a flood disaster made more likely by fossil fuel pollution is not an option.

**And just yesterday Senator Bob Brown announced a deal reached between the Greens and Labor on the flood levy that sees all $60 million in cuts to the Solar Flagships Program restored and $40 million of the $190 million in deferred funding brought back.**
