2. misleading -- that's simply a list of co-sponsors

The fact that a member of Congress hasn't signed on to a bill as a co-sponsor doesn't necessarily mean that member doesn't support the bill.

3. Where does it say anything about cosponsorship?

[onenote]

4. it doesn't, which is why its misleading

The names with the checkmarks are all co-sponsors. The names with "no" next to them are not co-sponsors but that in and of itself is not an indicator of whether a member "supports" a bill or not.

5. OK where is there a source that distinguishes that?

[onenote]

7. there is no source that identifies who is "supporting" or "opposing" the bill

The bill was introduced. It has around 86 co-sponsors. It was referred to Committee. Nothing else has happened with it.

Its entirely correct to say that Waxman and Pelosi (and around 150 other Democrats) have no signed on to the bill as co-sponsors. But I have no idea (nor does Michael Moore) whether none, some, all of these Democrats are "not supporting" or "supporting" the bill or have not taken a position on it.
