I believe you need to remove the padding from the <ul> element. I would
probably set it as a class...
insert into css file
..noPadding {
padding: 0;
}
insert into html file
<ul class="noPadding">
...
</ul>
I haven't tried it, but I think it will work.

I see why you used tables for the footer. I might even be tempted to say
that it is appropriate in this case. (So, who is going to flame me first?)
You have a list of headings across the top and links underneath. You could
try a five column div setup. Google for multi-column style sheets. In
your case you would want five equal columns, not the typical one or two
menu columns and a big content column.
Good luck!
