Through the Veggie mailing list I've received the message and attachment   
below, seems that saving our own pepper seeds will become illegal.

Hot regards
Rob



To all Seed list members,

As we all share a need/love of growing from seed I thought you would
want to know what is quietly taking place.I will refrain from comment
hoping you will read this page for yourself and direct your actions
accordingly.One thing I think we can agree on is its not difficult to
imagine this could forever alter gardening as we  know it and the
uncertainty if they would be content with the commercial crops
only....Please read and share this with others..Your opinion counts with
your legislator.
