Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) U.S. government watchdog organization. The organization's stated mission is to "promote ethics and accountability in government and public life by targeting government officials who sacrifice the common good to special interests."〔 CREW, which is officially nonpartisan but progressive, was purportedly founded in part to serve as a counter-weight to conservative watchdog groups such as Judicial Watch. When David Brock, a Democrat and the founder of Media Matters for America, became the chairman of CREW's board of directors in 2014, the organization adopted a more explicitly partisan stance. One of its projects is "CREW's Most Corrupt", an annual report in which CREW lists the people it considers to be Washington's most corrupt politicians. CREW typically targets Republicans. Its tactics include litigation, FOIA requests, congressional ethics complaints, Internal Revenue Service complaints, Federal Election Commission complaints, and requests for investigation with government agencies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington )〕 ==History and mission== Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington was founded in 2003 in part by Norman L. Eisen as a counter-weight to conservative watchdog groups such as Judicial Watch.〔(Q&A Interview with Melanie Sloan, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) ); CSPAN Transcripts; May 13, 2009.〕 A 2008 ''Roll Call'' article noted that the CREW mission statement had changed several times since 2005 to de-emphasize its focus on litigation. It dropped language that once read that CREW "differs from other good government groups in that it sues offending politicians directly" and that it "aims to counterbalance the conservative legal watchdog groups that made such a strong impact over the past decade", and now instead states that CREW "advances its mission using a combination of research, litigation and media outreach."〔
