Committee for the Re-Election of the President

The Committee for the Re-election of the President (or the Committee to Re-elect the President, CRP, but often mocked by the acronym CREEP) was, officially, a fundraising organization of United States president Richard Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign during the Watergate scandal. In addition to fundraising, the organization was engaged in political sabotage against Nixon's opponents, the various Democratic Party politicians running in the presidential election.
