It goes to Conference Committee where members of both the House and Senate will hammer out a single bill to be voted on by both houses.

Has anyone heard when it may come up out of conference? If we can get close to a date, that would be the time to march on D.C.

I found the answer to my own question:

Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and budget director Peter Orszag joined a meeting with key senators Tuesday afternoon to discuss the coming negotiations. With all sides of the stimulus talks coming to the table with different priorities, the Capitol Hill discussions could last through Obama's Feb. 16 President's Day deadline.

"Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and maybe Wednesday and Thursday next week may be needed to pass" the package in both chambers, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said.
