SD: Independent to Enter Race for US House

From WKRG: 

Pierre, South Dakota - B. Thomas Marking of Custer said Friday he is running as an independent for South Dakota's lone seat in the U.S. House because Republicans and Democrats are too busy fighting each other to solve the nation's problems.Marking, 61, also said if he is elected, he would set up an Internet system that would enable South Dakotans to express their opinions on top issues. He would base his votes in Congress on the results of those Internet polls."I think a big part of the frustration out there is the feeling that people have lost control over their lives. Maybe this is a way to give them a sense they still have some of that," Marking told The Associated Press.
