Terri Schiavo's website has several reports you can download, as well as video you can watch to see how there is no way she is a vegetable.

The Friends of Terri website has audio files of Terri trying to speak.

I've already put my very extensive email list to work in response to an email received this day from Terri's legal counsel - submitted below :

Subject: Don't let Florida woman's husband starve her to death

Dear Friend:

A potential tragedy is unfolding in Florida at this very moment that has the potential of becoming another major advance for the culture of death. A young disabled woman is in danger of being starved to death at the request of her husband, who already is living with another woman even though he is legally married to her. He also stands to gain financially from her death. Please go to CatholicPetitions.com to see what is about to happen without your help. Here's the address: http://www.catholicpetitions.com/petitions.php?id=226

Please read about Terri Schiavo's dire situation and then sign a petition asking Gov. Jeb Bush and Florida's Attorney General to intervene in her case and not let her life be taken. Urge a full investigation be made into how Terri's brain damage occurred and how she could yet recover from it.

Terri Schiavo suffered a collapse in 1990 that deprived her of oxygen for several minutes, causing the brain damage. She receives nutrition and hydration by a feeding tube, but is receiving no other life-support measures. Her husband has petitioned Florida courts to remove her feeding tube despite clear medical evidence that Terri is able to communicate and respond to commands. Don't let that happen! Act now at:
http://www.catholicpetitions.com/petitions.php?id=226

There's more: 13 physicians say Terri can recover with proper therapy! Her husband, however, has denied her this therapy. In addition, there is medical evidence foul play may have caused her collapse and brain damage.

Terri's parents have battled for years on her behalf, but the court now has ruled in the husband's favor. An appeal is in the works, but will it come fast enough to save her? The process of starving Terri to death will begin any day -- unless you and others create such an outcry that Florida officials must stop the life-taking effort and investigate. Here again is where to act:

P.S. Let us, who know the Lord, appeal to the Highest Authority: Ask God to protect Terri, comfort her parents and open the eyes of government officials so her life is spared and she is allowed to recover. Call for justice if there has been any wrongdoing, and pray for God to touch the hearts of His people everywhere to create a loud outcry that cannot be ignored at:
