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?

Whatever has led to the Excessive Solicitations, probably helped some voters Decide To Not Vote Blue! NowsTheTime Jun 14 #20
