Thank you to Pam's house blend for the widget celebrating Blogroll Amnesty Day.

Quote from Feb 3rd

"Today is Blogroll Amnesty Day, and folks are encouraged to link up to some of the lower-traffic, high-quality writing you don't have in your RSS feeds. At left is a nice chunk of those blogs in a widget I created that you can embed at your pad. You'll see that they are in good company with well-known, popular blogs.

Take some time to scroll the list and click links you've never heard of or surf frequently and get acquainted with great writers..
Many thanks to Skippy and Jon Swift for shepherding this through."

I guess you will have to cut and paste to see the post (I'm note sure why the link didn't work, sorry) but here is FNMA'S response to the change in their mission statement

“Fannie Mae's mission always has been and continues to be increasing the availability of mortgage funds for low-, moderate- and middle-income borrowers. We achieve this by raising global capital and bringing it to local communities. The change in language on our website over the years reflects our role as a secondary market institution to provide liquidity, stability, and affordability to America's housing market through our partners,” said Amy Bonitatibus, Fannie Mae spokeswoman.
