Need help changing a:href color

I am just trying to make the hashtagged links in the twitter feed at the bottom of the page the same color as the rest of the tweet text, but I can not seem to get it to do this. Can someone help me out, please?

Hello cm123077,
You have all these entries in your CSS that will color those links.

Code:

element.style {
    color: #877F63;
}
.tweets a {
    color: #0083B3;
    text-decoration: none;
}
.mt_text a {
    color: #A6A6A6;
    text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #FFFFFF;
}
.footer-widget a {
    color: #A6A6A6;
    text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #FFFFFF;
}
a {
    color: #00B7F3;
    text-decoration: none;
}

Which one colors them all depends on which one you remove and the specificity of what's left. Right now it's the top one, the inline styles on the links in the markup, that is coloring them.

Once you get rid of all of those, this will probably work for you (added the bit hightlighted in red) -

Code:

	#footer-widgets .tweets,
#footer-widgets .tweets a {
    color: #A6A6A6;
    line-height: 21px;
    text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #FFFFFF;
}

...
Ok, I just tried it and it gets some of those links but not all. You really need to get FireBug for FireFox to be able to see what all is affecting those links. Your CSS is just too big and convoluted to edit without it.
To add to your difficulties, that inline text color seems to come from some js somewhere
