This has a lot of potential. I do think we should consider moving it back to allow more time to promote, maybe durring the spring break period? This needs to happen, I'm on board 100%

We don't have more time. The time is now! We should have been doing this quite some time ago!
Here is what I have done to spread the word on this Revolution March.
-I posted on Ron Paul's Myspace page information about it.
-I emailed my grassroots organizer, Cheryl Scott in Nashville HQ and a few others about this event in the hopes they let everyone in their email lists know about it.
-I emailed everyone I know about this event. Complete with links and details.
-I posted a bulletin and a blog about this event with links to these forums and the event site.
-I am offering carpooling for people who cannot afford to get there themselves.
-I have suggested Greenbelt National Park to HQ as an affordable alternative to staying in a hotel if you wish to spend the evening. The park charges a fee of $16 per night per campsite. The link to the park http://www.nps.gov/gree/planyourvisit/campgroundreservations.htm
Is there anything else I can do?

i like your phased approach. i think picking a time and date would need to come before getting people to commit though.... perhaps you can do this while getting your 100 leaders.
Me, wife and four kiddos will be there if moved back - I can't take vacation that early but May would be perfect!

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!***

My opinion is we need this yesterday. I realize it takes time to prepare but why can't we stick to the April date then have another on July 4th? Can you imagine the logistics of a Fourth of July trip to Washington let alone a march? Just my opinion but we could have both. We could call it The Independence March! LOL!
Another point: Can we give the neocons a little less time to prepare for a Ron Paul Revolution March in Washington? Aren't these types of gatherings a little more spontaneous than 6 months worth of planning? I think it would be more effective if we just showed up, Surprise! We're here!

I understand what your saying (= I don't know if I'm alone on this, but I think it would have a much greater impact if we had one HUGE march with 10,000+ people, instead of 2 smaller marches. with a lower turnout.
I don't think it makes a difference if they know we're going to be gathering or not, as long as we keep it peaceful and oblige by the rules, it's our right guaranteed by the constitution that we're all fighting so dearly to protect (= If KKK groups can march and speak, then certainly freedom fighters can do the same.
I dunno, am I alone? Where is everyone on this? Let's start brainstorming ideas on such things as:
Official date - Take in consideration what kind of turnout we want. If we want a larger turn out I suggest a later date to allow for more planning and promotion.
Official organizers - People who are assigned to tasks to promote and organize specific parts of the event.

I missed the conference call last night. I was working on getting all of our mortgage papers together and the whole house has the flu. When I looked at the clock it was after 10pm!!!! I was completely bummed out that I had missed it. Any word on how it went? Have any decisions been made on a date?
I went well!
