Really awesome, and newsWORTHY. Every few weeks I'm heartened to hear a story about a family fighting off the banks and keeping their homes with the help of Occupy, and their communities.

When the MSM wants to waste our time with feel good stories, why not cover something patriotic and American as apple pie as a community coming together to keep their neighbours off the street. Oh wait.... Occupy is supposed to be dead. And they're all just good for nothing spoiled hipsters. And banks spend millions on vacuous news hour advertising. right.

If I'm not mistaken this is the same Nick Espinosa, who along with an other Occupy Colleague explained how Occupy is not dead, growing, evolving and scoring victories like these. But of course I saw that on Monday's Alyona Show.

Congrats to all of them.
