PlEASE NOTE: We are working very hard to get counters up and running for Facebook and possibly other social networking sites. Please check back regularly to see the progress on these tools. Thanks!

We appreciate your willingness to help spread the word of how much wars across the world cost to U.S. Taxpayers. The Cost of War counters take a considerable amount of bandwidth to serve to the thousands of websites that embed the counter. If you find the counters to be a valuable tool, please consider donating to National Priorities Project. As a 501(c)(3) organization, your donation is fully tax-deductible and will help us to create more useful tools in the future.
