Many say the House bill is to watered down.
In any case, if anyone is interested I offer a link to debate.org which presents some of the plus and minus of it, and the chance to vote (seem like the internet is just one big polling data place...great isn't it because you know how honest these folks are that fill these out)

Dear Guess: The balance between freedoms and the policies to preserve those freedoms is indeed a delicate balance.
In a perfect world it would be crystal clear but this is not a perfect world.
Ask anyone who has done investigating for a living or tried a lawsuit and you will find that they all ran up against many of the best at artful dodging. Some being investigated that can look you straight in the face and say Yea I did it now prove it.
The problem with the NSA debate is the same problem facing many debates instead of measured thought and intelligent deliberations we end up with with people who decide because their deciders are more interested in getting re-elected then the decision at hand. And so when government chooses they usually choose wrong.
