WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - A conservative group that wants Congress to defund the Obama administration's health care reform law is bringing its message to Delaware.

Thursday evening's event in Wilmington marks the end of a nine-city tour in which Heritage Action for America has been rallying support for its call to defund the Affordable Care Act is planning a town hall meeting in Pittsburgh.

Scheduled speakers for the event at the Doubletree Hotel on Concord Pike include Heritage Foundation president and former South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, and Rafael Cruz, father of Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
