Hi hutzelm.
This is what you currently have:
<p style="text-align: left;margin-top:20px;">Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our Privacy Policy - <a href="http://privacy-policy.truste.com/verified-policy/hutzelmedia.com">(effective 8/31/2012).

What this means is you have one single line in a paragraph tag. If you want to separate out the lines you can either use a break tag or separate them into multiple paragraph tags. So something like this:
<p style="text-align: left;margin-top:20px;">Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our <a href="http://privacy-policy.truste.com/verified-policy/hutzelmedia.com">Privacy Policy</a></p>

If you don't want the socket links to have a background color, you need to add the following CSS to your Quick CSS or custom.css file:
#top #socket .container a {
background-color: transparent;
}
Please take a look at this link for how to format the html links and paragraph text so you can get it exactly as you need it: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp
You can even use the tool on that page which lets you try it out in the html view and see it live: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_links
