Ron Paul signed print of original artwork in frame 26"x34"

Description

It breaks my heart to part with this. This has been a HUGE part of my life. Anyone who is interested in this understands. Having moved from the UK to the US, I was driving on the I5 heading north in snow one bleak afternoon in 2007. On the overpass, in the cold I noticed some folk overhead holding Vote for Ron Paul signs. From that day on, my life (and my family's) has been a beautiful, sometimes tragic journey towards greater fulfillment. As such, I am parting with this to help fund the next stage of our journey.
The artwork is not mine. I do not recall the artist (I wish I could give credit). It was shared on the old Dailypaul forums site. I was planning on going to see Dr Paul during his visit to Seattle in 2012. I messaged the artist and they did give me permission to print their work. Dr Paul was kind enough to sign this for me at the end of the event. This was the second time I had heard him speak. My friend, who had come along for the ride, was amazed and awakened. It was so crowded at the end, but Dr Paul was very gracious. He asked if the work was mine (to which I replied no) and he said he liked it anyway and then signed it for me.
The frame was super expensive (for me!) - I think it cost me close to 0 to have it done professionally. Over the years, it has had a few dings (shown in the pictures) - if anything, it is nothing that can be seen from a distance, and can probably be covered up (or just go with the aged look).
It is beautiful. But the real beauty lies within.
I don't even know how to value this so I am going to start at 0 which is what I paid for the frame. If it holds that sort of value to you, please bid. We cannot take it on the next part of our journey. Hopefully it can bring others renewed hope and optimism too. The frame weights approximately 20lbs so shipping might cost a bit extra too.
