How do I make it stop? (ActBlue Solicitations) [View all]

One of the ways in which I am being lost as a donor is the extreme number of solicitations I am receiving from seemingly every campaign in the country.
There have been over 600 solicitations in the last 30 days.
I am not about to cede control of my personal information by changing my email address, or my phone number.
ActBlue needs to stop giving those out. As far as I know I never gave them permissioin to do so in the first place. Does anyone know how to ask them to stop?
What other strategies do people have for maintaining control?
