Yes 1000 is too much for many middle class and lower, people.
Bring it down so that you need many people to contribute to you to get any kind of referrendum on your popularity and the publics want to see you elected.
Say what you will about Howard Dean, but the way he ran a campaign, and raised money is how every candidate should be forced to use exclusively. He was truly a people campaign. And it was successful. Lots of people giving 10 - 25 - 100 dollars only to him. Or giving small amounts of 10 or so on a recurring basis.
That's a people campaign.
