Eric Miller, the committeeman from Martin County, said the caucus could begin to "run this progressive element out of our party and out of this country" by voting for the resolution.

"Folks, once they've got the kids, and they've got their minds, you might as well sit down; it's over from there," he said.

But opponents of the resolution, including critics of Common Core, said the caucus should focus its efforts less on staking out policy positions and more on electing Republicans.
