An Announcement to the Janes

By CJP | April 10, 2009

Good morning Janes!

As our loyal readers have noticed, CJP has been a bit dormant recently.  We write today to tell you where we’ve been and to tell you about some changes coming to CJP.

First, we apologize for taking off without telling you we’d be away.  Even Serena texted her mom when she went to Spain with Poppy.  We could tell you that we were stranded on a deserted island off the coast of Puerto Rico (see pic at left), which is true, but we would be lying if we said we didn’t have Internet access- can you believe we actually got a signal there?

But all that’s in the past Janes.  Let’s talk about the future.

On April 27th, our founder and editor, Patricia Murphy, will begin writing a daily column called “The Capitolist” (get it?) for a new web site called “Politics Daily.”  HERE’s a little write-up about “Politics Daily” for now, but we’ll tell you more about it as it gets closer to launching.   A scant few weeks later, Nisha Chittal, our associate editor and the Dakota Fanning of CJP (meaning the future mogul among us) will graduate from college and head to Asia for the summer.  Kate Haigh, the captain of CJP’s comma police and a writer for the site, has already graduated from college, so she’s going to keep on keepin’ on…..and so is CJP, with all of us involved in one way or another.

Beginning Monday, we’ll transition into Between-Elections Mode, still making the Janes the smartest women in every yoga class, carpool pick-up line, and boardroom in America, but just doing it with a little less frequency (meaning not quite four times a day.)

Every Monday, you’ll get the CJP look ahead at the week in politics.  Every Friday, we’ll tell you what happened while you were starting your businesses, raising your kids, applying to grad school and generally living your lives.  In between, we’ll be posting items we think the Janes will enjoy, updating the political calendar and White House Watch section regularly (and finally!) so that you can keep our new president accountable, changing the registration dates to get you ready for the 2009 elections (yes there are some), and generally keep the CJP house in order.

As for the Janes, we hope you’ll keep reading CJP, commenting on what you see, and caring about the country we know you love, whether you’re left, right or center.   Also, if you ever want to write a guest column, tell us so at jane@citizenjanepolitics.com.

In the meantime gals, as we feel sure Lauren Conrad will tell us soon, this is not the end of our time together, it’s just a new phase.

With all our our politically correct affection and thanks for reading CJP and being our Janes,

Patricia, Nisha and Kate
