"April 13, 2010 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the Wake Forest University basketball program was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the Empire of Ron Wellman.
* * * *
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the Wake Forest basketball program and our fanbase in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe that I interpret the will of Deacon fans everywhere when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our traditions, players and fans, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph -- so help us God.
I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Ron Wellman on Tuesday, April 13, 2010, a state of war has existed between the Wake Forest fanbase and the Wellman empire."
