During his stay in Québec, Canada, he took a much needed hiatus from politics to focus on his education. During the course, he studied Theology and International Law at University of Québec. While attending the University of Québec, he became a member of the Haitian Students Association. Even while in exile he continued to do what he does best – help people.

Presidential Candidate Gary Guiteau has spent countless hours helping those affected by the Haitian earthquake which was completely and utterly devastating. But November’s election is important because there are still needs of monumental tasks of rebuilding of Haiti -- without corruption. Additionally, there is another tragedy upon Haiti -- the BP oil spill disaster. This is of great concern to Haiti which is a mostly farming and fishing country. Some farms have been destroyed due to the earthquake and now the fisheries will see turmoil. As the founder and President of the “Green Movement” Gary Guiteau wants to see the impact of this disaster not reach the shores of Haiti. Also, Gary Guiteau’s “Green Movement” will attempt to align his domestic growth agenda to eliminate poverty in Haiti, design real social and economic development for the country while promoting the Earth.

Gary Guiteau’s dedication and experience make him the most qualified candidate for President of Haiti. The Haitian people will vote in a democratic election in November 2010 and they will get to elect a new Commander in Chief and soon Haiti can begin to heal.
