It was a weekend of victories for the Occupy Wall Street movement - both big and small. But the greatest victory of the 99 percent may be the impact it's having on TOMORROW's patriots.

And these people feel - that for the first time - there are support networks which give them the power to say no - to stand up for what they believe - no matter how powerful those who believe the opposite are.
