Organizing for Action, the nonprofit group launched out of President Obama's 2012 reelection campaign, launched a Web video series promoting immigration reform Thursday with a video clip about a foreign tech entrepreneur in San Francisco.

The new video is the first in a series that OFA plans to run that will push for the public to call for comprehensive immigration reform. The videos will tell the stories of people impacted by the immigration debate.

In its inaugural video, OFA decided to focus on the immigration debate's impact on the tech community. The video features the story of Convo.com Founder Faizan Buzdar and his struggle to move his business to Silicon Valley. 

The bill is a reaction to the Justice Department's seizure two months' worth of phone records of Associated Press journalists.

THE LEDE: Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to put forward a plan to simplify corporate tax laws when he testifies during a Senate hearing next Tuesday, according to The Washington Post. 

Cook, the successor to the late Steve Jobs at the Cupertino-based company, told The Post in an interview that he plans to offer proposals that would encourage American companies to bring their foreign profits back to the United States.

The upcoming Senate hearing will be Cook's debut testifying before Congress. The hearing, held by the Senate Homeland Security subpanel on investigations, will examine the methods used by multinational corporations to shift profits offshore to avoid U.S. tax rates on them.

Many companies have argued that U.S. tax rates are too high relative to other countries' and need to be lowered. Industry has urged Congress to reform the tax code. 

Cook agreed that the tax rates are too high in the U.S. and should be reconsidered. 

“We are not proposing that it be zero. I know many of our peers believe that," Cook told the Post. "But I don’t view that. But I think it has to be reasonable.”
