I've made a word in a paragraph a link, I can't get the link to open in a new window

Question

Here's my text and how I've written the link:
("In addition to the four issues on this map, <style>a:link {color:#b8dc70;text-decoration:none;} a:visited {color:#c8c8c8;}a:hover {color:#e69400;}a:active {color:#c97777;}</style> <a href =\"http://grassrootschange.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Preemption-FactSheet.pdf\" >peemption</a>has been used to weaken grassroots movements in dozens of other health and safety issues, ranging from environmental justice to fire prevention.");
I know this must be very simple, but I'm at a total loss. Thank you in advance

Hi redesign, thank you so much, this did the trick. I have a question. After tinkering a bit, In the end the only change in my link (other than "target="self" was changing from " to '  for example:
('In addition to the four issues on this map, <style>a:link {color:#b8dc70;text-decoration:none;} a:visited {color:#c8c8c8;}a:hover {color:#e69400;}a:active {color:#c97777;}</style> <a href =\"http://grassrootschange.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Preemption-Fact Sheet.pdf\"target="self" >peemption</a>has been used to weaken grassroots movements in dozens of other health and safety issues, ranging from environmental justice to fire prevention.');
Would you be kind enough to explain why, just so I know for the future.
Thank you so much.
