It's cold outside in Minnesota (though, not as cold as it usually is), but the Occupy movement has not been idle here. They've been busy occupying a house threatened with foreclosure and saving homeowner Bobby Hull from becoming homeless. Hull says the very public pressure and media exposure provided by Occupy played a major role in convincing his lender to let him renegotiate the mortgage. If you're in Minnesota and your house is at risk, contact Occupy at Occupyhomesmn@gmail.com. (Thanks, Laura!)
