Richard Labunski is an American journalism professor at the University of Kentucky and newspaper columnist[1] who is an outspoken advocate for reforming the United States Constitution in his book The Second Constitutional Convention.[2] He has been a critic of voter apathy, low voter turnout, and excessive campaign spending. Labunski's book [3] James Madison and the Struggle for the Bill of Rights (2006) argued that Madison was initially lukewarm to the idea of a Bill of Rights to the Constitution, but later came to energetically support the ten amendments and worked hard for their inclusion.[4] He has called for a Second Constitutional Convention of the United States, and argued that reform will not happen through the current system because Congress would be reluctant to "limit its own powers."[5]

Career

Labunski received a B.A. in political science from the University of California, Berkeley, an M.A. and Ph.D. in political science from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a J.D. degree from Seattle University.[6] He worked as a radio and television reporter, producer, and editor at WTOP Radio (Washington, D.C.); KCBS Radio (San Francisco); KGUN-TV (Tucson); and KTVN-TV (Reno).[7] He taught at the University of Washington for 11 years, as well as at Penn State University.[7] He has been at the University of Kentucky since 1995, as a professor in the School of Journalism and Telecommunications.[7]

In The Second Constitutional Convention (2000), Labunski proposed communication via the Internet as a way for Americans to organize a federal constitutional convention[6] with a website serving as a "national meeting spot, a sort of cyberspace town meeting where people can get information".
