A Baker's Dozen of AlterNet's Most Popular Articles of 2012

As I announced a week ago, AlterNet is doing something different for our Fall fundraising campaign. Instead of barraging you with many e-mails pleading for support and giving dire predictions for the future (they may come true, but hopefully not), we are simply going to tell you some stories -- about interesting things, our work, quirky items you might not know -- all in lists to celebrate one of the most effective ways of communicating information (but far from the only one).
So here is list #1: a baker's dozen of stories that were most popular on AterNet so far this year.
Paul Armentano, AlterNet | Jul 27, 2012
2. Why We Have to Go Back to a 40-Hour Work Week to Keep Our Sanity
3. I Was a Good Mormon Wife ... Until My Husband Stopped Believing in God
4. 5 Food Companies Run by Radical Right-Wingers
Lauren Kelley, AlterNet | Jul 22, 2012
5. Matt Taibbi Reveals How Romney Made His Fortune -- It Ain't Pretty, and He Shouldn't Be Proud of It
Amy Goodman and Matt Taibbi, Democracy Now | Aug 31, 2012
6. Founding Fathers Whose Skepticism About Christianity Would Make Them Unelectable Today
11. 6 Brands Playing Footsie with Conservatives and Paying the Price
13. The 11 Dumbest Things Conservatives Have Said About Women
So that's it. Pretty interesting, don't you think? It's a diverse list of stories including pot, religion, renegade Republicans, work sanity, consumer awareness, the evil method of Romney's fortune and much more.
I hope you enjoyed the list. Should you be interested in supporting AlterNet's ongoing work, we would greatly appreciate it.
