I'll be there. Don't think the media will give this any attention though.

Ideas to get the word out
**Of course we cannot do this until we've decided on a specific date, so that should be our first priority obviously. OP - Please feel free to PM me as I am willing to help as much as possible with my allotted time**
1. Print flyer's to put up in your city / around town
(I think this could be an easy "home project" that could boost this thing to the next level..)
2. Mass email
(I don't know who's exactly in charge of the meetup group emails and what not, but if we could assign certain groups of people to be in charge of emailing supporters that could help a lot I think. Say, ever few weeks or so to keep people updated on what's going on)
3. Youtube videos
(This one's a no-brainer and a great opportunity for you artistic video editing people out there to really shine. We could make some very nice videos for this monumental event, similar to the quality of the super bowl commercials. Make them viral!)
4. Blogs, diggs, forums, rest of Internet
(If we really want 10,000+ Ron Paul supporters to attend this thing from all across the country, we need to seriously make this event known throughout the entire Internet. Keep people updated not only on this forum, but on other forums about the march. Again, we could assign a certain group of supporters to a certain forum as their "task" so to say)
5. Chip-in - Donations
(Like previous people have stated, we're gonna need some money for this obviously. I'm sure we could raise MORE then enough if we really gave it our all. This could be HUGE for the campaign guys. Think of the media exposure, especially on the 4th of July if we chose that date? I personally already know it would be the most memorable 4th in my entire life)
6. Written letters, mailers, slim-jim handouts
(I suppose this could be in the flyer's section, but we need to use every tool in our arsenal for this one guys! I'm thinking using the rebate money we get back in April to print slim-jims possibly?)
What do you guys think of the organization method of assigning certain people to do certain tasks? We could make a list of people's name's and their duties to spread the word. No matter how big or small, no help is ever wasted!
***Let's brainstorm!***

I agree with this, but can you imagine how PACKED it would be even getting to D.C?
Very good point. I have actually been in DC on the 4th, and on that day, it already looks like there's a March on Washington - and there's TONS of security and alot of blocked off areas. Also, there would be two huge crowds of people there for two very different resons crammed into a relatively small space and things might get out of hand.
I do think we need much more time to plan this though. Before the RNC for sure, but late in the summer to early fall would give us time to do it right.
And I agree - this topic needs it's own sub-forum, or at least a sticky.

Awesome idea! We really need to start up a donation website or put a chip-in on the official site to start raising money for all of this.
I just thought of a potential problem for donating. How will we convince the majority of supporters to donate to this when it's not to the official campaign? That's assuming we do not get official campaign support backed behind this event. To combat the idea of potential fraud that is. Not saying the OP is going to steal our money hehe but people just don't trust other people.
