Connect them to the top of your pots, and connect the tops of the pots together with thin uninsulated wire.

Then connect the "ground" from your bridge to one of the tops of the pots.

Make sure you scuff them so the solder sticks.
 
Re: wher can solder all my "grounds"

I sometimes use a soldering lug which is a large eyelet type of thing with a screw hole in the other end bent at a 90 degree angle. You can find them a lot of places even radio shack. Using a short screw install it somewhere central and to the side of the control cavity so you do not go through the top with the screw. Run every ground to it and solder all at once.

Don't forget that all of those connections must make their way back to the sleeve lug of the output jack. Thats the only true "ground" a guitar has.
