CREEP
Committee to Re-Elect the President Repro Button

A 1.25 inch (3.125 centimeter) pinback button with a fan-made logo for CREEP (Committee to Re-Elect the President). This can also be made as a magnet!

The original Committee to Re-Elect the President (officially known as CRP) planning began in late 1970 for then-President Nixon, and an office opened in the spring of 1971. Besides its re-election activities, the Committee employed money laundering and slush funds, and was involved in the Watergate scandal.

CREEP used $500,000 in funds raised to re-elect President Nixon to pay legal expenses for the five Watergate burglars. This act helped turn the burglary into an explosive political scandal. The burglars, as well as G. Gordon Liddy, E. Howard Hunt, John N. Mitchell, and other Nixon administration figures, were imprisoned over the break-in and their efforts to cover it up.

And if you thought Nixon was controversial, check out our current President! (<- hey, I don't have to edit that line when I re-list the button)

Wear it at practically any political rally, racing car rally, wedding party, welding convention, rave, rant, or other social event. The compact size is a plus! Great at Thanksgiving, smashing as a Secret Santa present. Use the magnet to hold the door open. Large 2.25" button is just that much CREEPier!

Pin back on each button. Flat collet magnet strong enough to hold up an envelope, or 2-3 sheets of paper. US penny for scale. Penny and ruler NOT included in price of button/magnet. 1.25 inches = 3.175 cm.
