during the 110th Congress. Members of Congress from both parties and outside organizations, who represent American workers, consumers, and businesses, are active participants in the group. The HTWG organizes press conferences, briefings, letters, and other initiatives to fight trade agreements. As of the 111th Congress

Although the membership is somewhat fluid, there were at least 100 members, almost all of them from the Democratic Party
. This constituted more than one-third of the Democratic membership of the 111th Congress
. Note that the two Republicans in the HTWG, Walter B. Jones
of North Carolina and Chris Smith of New Jersey, began their careers as Democrats. Twenty-one HTWG members were defeated in the 2010 Congressional elections
