Chad Hills, gambling analyst for Focus on the Family Action, claims that writing regulations shouldn’t be too burdensome. “We estimate that about five federal employees working on this could keep and maintain a list of Internet gambling operations,” he told Family News in Focus, the organisation's journal.

5? Shouldn't even need 1 full time for this...

Are you serious? Every month I get a check from Full TIlt, and every month it's from a different company name. And 1 person could keep track of every internet gambling related operation?

As such, I humbly ask that you to just that – write regulations that address the legislation as written

Not to bust your balls, but I corrected your grammar error. Punctuation goes inside the quotations.

Not in the British style... and The Chicago Manual of Style remarks that “The British style is strongly advocated by some American language experts.”

Besides, "A writer who fixes too much attention on the correctness of his punctuation, or a reader who does the same, is missing the point: the job of text is to communicate, not satisfy pedantic rule makers."

In this case, its clear that the "." should be outside the "'s, because he is suggesting a replacement of "to" with "do", not "do.", LDO.
