A Note About Style
We've intentionally left out any styles for this embeddable counter, instead leaving it up to you to provide
styles consistent with the look of your site. To aid in that process, here's the HTML markup that will be
generated from the embed code:
<div id="npp-widget-pentagon-war" class="npp-widget">
<h3 class="npp-widget-title">
Pentagon & War
</h3>
<p class="npp-widget-summary">
Every <span> hr(s)</span>,
taxpayers in <span></span>
are paying <span>$###</span>
for <span>Pentagon & War</span>.
</p>
<p id="npp-widget-pentagon-war-total" class="npp-widget-total">
$###,###,###
</p>
<p class="npp-widget-meta">
