I don't think that's enough. It needs to be 10x more than that before the government will start taking this issue seriously, and actually rein on NSA's power. And you can tell by the actions of their insider, Dianne Feinstein, that they have no intention of doing that right now.
When she will support bills like Rush Holt's Surveillance State Repeal Act that repeals the Patriot Act and the FISA Amendments Act, then you'll know the government is serious about reining in on their power and actually care about the many billions the US corporations stand to lose from not doing that.
Until then, pay no attention to their NSA "reforms" - or better yet, do pay attention, because they are likely to add in a lot of backdoors to give NSA more power by explicitly legalizing many of the things they have been doing, like Feinstein's "FISA Improvements Act", and call your representatives to reject it.
